mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth state
mac80211 currently hangs on to the auth state by keeping it on the work list. That can lead to confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.) It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.
