When hostapd choose to reuse an existing interface, it does not add it
to the set of interfaces from which we accept EAPOL packets.

Make sure we always add it to that set.

Adding a call to add_ifidx() makes sense, but not in this location. This
would end up adding interfaces to the list multiple times and then being
left there even after del_ifidx() call which is removing only a single
entry. I'd assume this new add_ifidx() call should be much earlier in
this function. To be more exact, where the ifdex == -ENFILE is checked.

you're right, I misread the first for loop in add_ifidx() and
thought it was an opencoded has_ifidx() to avoid duplicate entries

what about adding has_ifidx() at the beginning ?

wpa_driver_nl80211_if_add() has many error paths, and I did not want
to add 'if (added) del_ifidx()' everywhere
