During concurrent operation, the VIF sharing same channel with AP mode
might scan. Reject those scan requests from driver when there's AP
currently operating. Also, disallow entering power saving mode.

How is a station interface useful if it cannot scan at all? IMHO quite
hard limitation.

Due to hardware limitation, it can't host as AP mode and do scanning at
the same time, so we make this choice before. Now, we don't reject scan
requests, but AP's clients could get lost or disconnected. I think
that is a trade-off, so we leave this decision to user space.
I have sent v2 with this change.
