Let userspace learn about iftype changes by sending an NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE when handling a NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE command. There seems to be no other place where the iftype can change: nl80211_set_interface is the only caller of cfg80211_change_iface which is the only caller of ops->change_virtual_intf.
