    wpa_supplicant AP: Disable AP mode on disassoc paths

    Regardless of how the AP mode is disabled, wpa_supplicant_ap_deinit()
    must be called. Make sure this happens on all paths by calling the
    deinit function from wpa_supplicant_mark_disassoc().

Generate problems in case of wpa_supplicant AP mode.
Operstate is always 0 (RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0) for drivers that
can't change interface mode when UP.
 Works fine with ath9k.

-16 (Device or resource busy)
D/wpa_supplicant( 2330): nl80211: Try mode change after setting interface down
D/wpa_supplicant( 2330): nl80211: Mode change succeeded while interface is down

D/wpa_supplicant( 2330): nl80211: Interface up
D/wpa_supplicant( 2330): wpa_driver_nl80211_set_operstate: operstate
0->0 (DORMANT)

D/wpa_supplicant( 2330): RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x11043
([UP][RUNNING][LOWER_UP])
