The network_type_in_use member of struct wlan_bssid_ex is write-only:
nothing in the driver ever reads it. It is assigned in three places,
none of which feed anything:

  - collect_bss_info() hard-codes it to Ndis802_11OFDM24 for every
    parsed beacon/probe response, regardless of the network's actual
    band or rates (it is even wrong for 5 GHz APs, which the same
    function explicitly handles).
  - rtw_check_beacon_data() and rtw_update_registrypriv_dev_network()
    derive it from the wireless mode via a switch, but the result is
    likewise never consumed.

The live PHY classification the driver actually acts on is kept in
wlan_network.network_type (the WIRELESS_11x value), so this NDIS-era
field is redundant.

struct wlan_bssid_ex is an internal structure passed by pointer through
the driver command queue; it is never serialized to firmware or onto
the air (the wire data lives in ies[]), so dropping a member is
layout-safe as long as the module is rebuilt as a whole.

enum ndis_802_11_network_type existed only to type this field, so
remove it as well. No functional change.
