Android requires a "p2p0" netdev to exist for P2P Device
functionality, and will even set it "UP" to start the P2P
Device functionality.

This is a hack to provide it so not only is Android happy
but also the current version of wpa_supplicant can work
with P2P-Device functionality without needing changes to
support the P2P-Device commands, just a little bit to not
attempt to change the interface type to station.

Hi Johannes,

I tested the patch on x86 platform and was successful executing a p2p_find, p2p_connect, and able to ping my peer. But....

When I tried this a second time I got a lockdep warning about annotation as brcmfmac tried to take a mutex during scan (p2p_find). Two minutes later I got warning about rcu stalls. Not sure where to look.
