+hostapd: Set operstate UP when initializing AP mode
+
+This is needed to avoid problems with other applications setting and
+leaving the interface to IF_OPER_DORMANT state. In AP mode, the interface
+is ready immediately after the keys are set, so we better make sure the
+DORMANT state does not prevent normal operations after that.
