mwifiex: toggle carrier state in start_ap/stop_ap.

Browse source 
In uap mode the carrier is not enabled until after the first STA joins.
The carrier triggers the bridge to start its state machine, and if STP
is enabled, it takes 4 seconds as it transitions from disabled to
forwarding. During this time the bridge drops all traffic, and the EAPOL
handshake times out after 3 seconds, preventing stations from joining.

Follow the logic used in mac80211 and start the carrier in start_ap
and disable it in stop_ap. This has a nice benefit of allowing the
first station connection time to be reduced by up to 75% when STP is
in use.
