[PATCH] hostapd: make driver_devicescape set multi-BSS interfaces up

Yes, I realise that we still use the mgmt iface. However, setting the
interface UP is needed to get the device to ACK frames on the other MAC
address because the drivers only configure the MAC address
correspondingly when the interface is set UP. Also, I think I changed
beaconing to be unsupported on interfaces that are down.
