commit 6c59cff38e66584ae3ac6c2f0cbd8d039c710ba7 upstream.
There's no reason for preventing the creation and removal
of qmimux network interfaces when the underlying interface
is up.
This makes qmi_wwan mux implementation more similar to the
rmnet one, simplifying userspace management of the same
logical interfaces.
Fixes: c6adf77953bc ("net: usb: qmi_wwan: add qmap mux protocol support")
