Subject: [ 19/37] mac80211: destroy assoc_data correctly if assoc fails

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eliad Peller <eliad@...ery.com>

commit 10a9109f2705fdc3caa94d768b2559587a9a050c upstream.

If association failed due to internal error (e.g. no
supported rates IE), we call ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data()
with assoc=true, while we actually reject the association.

This results in the BSSID not being zeroed out.

After passing assoc=false, we no longer have to call
sta_info_destroy_addr() explicitly. While on it, move
the "associated" message after the assoc_success check.
