This reverts commit ee1f668136b2fb6640ee2d54c2a525ea41f98211. The aformentioned commit added a check to allow 'iw wlan0 set power_save off' to work for mesh interfaces. However, this is problematic because it also allows 'iw wlan0 set power_save on', which will crash in short order because all of the subsequent code manipulates sdata->u.mgd. The power-saving states for mesh interfaces can be manipulated through the mesh config, e.g: 'iw wlan0 set mesh_param mesh_power_save=active' (which, despite the name, actualy disables power saving since the setting refers to the type of sleep the interface undergoes).
