mac80211: proper bss private data handling

cfg80211 offers private data for each BSS struct,
which mac80211 uses. However, mac80211 uses internal
and external (cfg80211) BSS pointers interchangeably
and has a hack to put the cfg80211 bss struct into
the private struct.

Remove this hack, properly converting between the
pointers wherever necessary.
