The main point of this check is to prevent chaos when two processes
try to use nl80211 at the same time, it's not a security measure.
The same thing should possibly be done for JOIN_IBSS/LEAVE_IBSS and
START_AP/STOP_AP.

Isn't this V2? What has changed since last time?

It was RFC before I guess.

Ah, yes. That's it.
