Due to hardware limitation, it can't host as AP mode and do scanning at
the same time, so we make this choice before. Now, we don't reject scan
requests, but AP's clients could get lost or disconnected. I think
that is a trade-off, so we leave this decision to user space.

I have sent v2 with this change.
