This reverts commit 55e95ce469d0c61041bae48b2ebb7fcbf6d1ba7f.

mt792x drivers don't seem to support multi-radio devices yet.  At least
they don't mess with `struct wiphy_radio` at the moment.

Packet capturing on monitor interface doesn't work after the blamed patch:

  tcpdump -i wls6mon -n -vvv

Revert the NO_VIRTUAL_MONITOR feature for now to resolve the issue.

Can't answer exactly *why* the capturing doesn't work after the patch:
probably because the driver is just not prepared for NO_VIRTUAL_MONITOR.
The feature isn't too obvious, especially that for some reason it was set
in mt792x alongside WANT_MONITOR_VIF.  With a quick glance I might
conclude that NO_VIRTUAL_MONITOR overrides WANT_MONITOR_VIF, they don't
look compatible.
