hostapd: nl80211 retry creating a interface if it fails the first time

Browse source 
If hostapd segfaults, or is killed with -9, or the interface already exists,
when the interface is created, it will fail.

Configuration file: /tmp/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Failed to create interface mon.wlan0_0.
Using interface wlan0_0 with hwaddr 00:13:01:01:08:0a and ssid 'IG_0405_LAN'
Failed to set beacon head/tail or DTIM period
Failed to create interface wlan0_1.

Try to remove the interface and re-create it before aborting.
