Hostapd require access to the wpa_psk_file to insert data in the context
of WPS usage.

From hostapd.conf documentation:
  Note: If wpa_psk_file is set, WPS is used to generate random, per-device PSKs
  that will be appended to the wpa_psk_file. If wpa_psk_file is not set, the
  default PSK (wpa_psk/wpa_passphrase) will be delivered to Enrollees. Use of
  per-device PSKs is recommended as the more secure option (i.e., make sure to
  set wpa_psk_file when using WPS with WPA-PSK).

Since we set the option by default, we involuntary enabled also this WPS
feature, that was broken all this time because we create the
wpa_psk_file as root and hostapd doesn't have access to it to write the
per-device psk.

Giving correct permission makes hostapd correctly write the entry and
permits devices connected with WPS Push-Button to re-authenticate on
next connection.
