Subject: [ 092/218] mac80211: clear bssid on auth/assoc failure

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

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

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

commit 3d2abdfdf14f4d6decc2023708211e19b096f4ca upstream.

ifmgd->bssid wasn't cleared properly in some
auth/assoc failure cases, causing mac80211 and
the low-level driver to go out of sync.

Clear ifmgd->bssid on failure, and notify the driver.
