This happen to me too ...


I reset my Network Settings (under General Settings > Reset) and the options to enable the personal hotspot re-appeared.

In fact, the options seemed to move in the first place and were available under the Mobile Data menu branch.


Please be aware, when you reset the Network Settings, your phone name will revert back to the default 'iPhone' name, so if you changed this before, you will need to change this again.


Hope this helps,
