In ath11k_mac_op_assign_vif_chanctx(), there is a logic to
create peer using ar->mac_addr for a STA vdev. This is invalid
because a STA vdev should have a peer created using AP's
MAC address. Besides, if we run into that logic, it means a peer
has already been created earlier, we should not create it again.
So remove it.

This is found during code review.

My Qualcomm Innovation Center copyright checker reports:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c copyright missing 2024

Kalle can fix this in the pending branch

Actual code change LGTM so
