nl80211: ensure interface is up in various APIs
commit 2b5f8b0b upstream. [backported by Ben Greear] The nl80211 handling code should ensure as much as it can that the interface is in a valid state, it can certainly ensure the interface is running. Not doing so can cause calls through mac80211 into the driver that result in warnings and unspecified behaviour in the driver. Reported-by:Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by:
