wifi: don't query nl80211 for non-WiFi devices (bgo #740131)
The upstream kernel added module aliases for nl80211 in commit fb4e156886ce6e8309e912d8b370d192330d19d3, so querying nl80211 now auto-loads the module. Previously NM was doing this to determine whether an ethernet-like device was a Wi-Fi device that supported nl80211, but this leads to the nl80211 loading on platforms that will never have or use Wi-Fi. Since every nl80211-capable device will already have DEVTYPE=wlan set (from /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent), we can use that as an indicator that the ethernet-like device is WiFi instead of asking nl80211. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740131
