mac80211: optimize tx status processing

When a cooked monitor interface is active, ieee80211_tx_status()
generates a radiotap header for every single frame, even if it wasn't
injected and thus won't be sent to a monitor interface.
This patch reduces cpu utilization by moving the cooked monitor check a
bit earlier, before it generates the rtap header.
