MAC spoofing cannot be disabled for devices using modules from the staging directory

Originally created by @sajolida on #12362 (Redmine)

As of 617151fc, if I:

• Start Tails with a USB WiFi dongle that doesn’t support MAC spoofing
• Disable MAC spoofing in Tails Greeter

Then:

• MAC spoofing is still enabled and I can’t use that card.

But, if I plug the USB WiFi dongle once the session is started. MAC spoofing is not applied to the new interface and I can use that card.
