Since we probably can't do that in cfg80211, the most logical place
would be ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface() even though on the face of
it that function does something else; however, note the comment on
ieee80211_do_open(). Maybe it warrants a rename of the function,
something like ieee80211_check_iface_possible() maybe?
