[PATCHv2 20/21] VLAN: do not remove VLAN interfaces due to kernel bug

Sat Jun 1 11:54:25 EDT 2013
Since running this hostapd version, I continously
see kernel warnings. I suspect them to be due to
interfaces removal now occuring on STA freeing,
which is happen frequently on my test node.
This patch makes interface freeing optional
and deferred by default.
