Packets delivered to mac80211 from the WBM error path currently do not have the RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR flag set in status->flag. As a result, mac80211 performs unnecessary monitor mode checks on each packet, even though these packets are not intended for monitor mode processing. In regular rx path, this flag is explicitly set to avoid such overhead. Align the WBM error path behavior by setting RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR to prevent redundant per-packet checks in mac80211.
