hostapd_ctrl_iface_attach() used to contain the implementation and that
ended up being a minimal wrapper when the function was shared for
multiple purposes in commit 89b781bc89ef ("hostapd: Use common functions
for ctrl_iface"). It was never cleaned up, but I guess better late than
never.. So yes, I think the one-liner wrapper should be removed if there
is no plan on extending it (and independently of that, the existing
one-liner wrappers from that commit could be removed).
