The check of this should be mutex protected or a hif init/deinit should be
done in probe/remove code not not in open (I'm for the second approach).
Imagine this scenario:

vif 1: is down
vif 2: is down. "ifconfig vif2 up" is executed and the execution reach this
       point and then suspends after "if (wilc->clients_count == 0)" check
vif 1: "ifconfig vif1 up" and execution reach the end of this function and
       then the execution for vif 2 resumes. This will init twice the hif
       mutex, completion etc.
