Ignore Management frames while AP interface is not fully enabled 

It is possible for drivers to report received Management frames while AP
is going through initial setup (e.g., during ACS or DFS CAC). hostapd
and the driver is not yet ready for actually sending out responses to
such frames at this point and as such, it is better to explicitly ignore
such received frames rather than try to process them and have the
response (e.g., a Probe Response frame) getting dropped by the driver as
an invalid or getting out with some incorrect information.
