Thanks. Though, since wpa_supplicant_cancel_auth_timeout() is supposed
to be called only when authentication has been completed, I fixed this
differently by canceling the timeout in
wpa_supplicant_{disassociate,deauthenticate}(). That will also take care
of numerous other operations that can result in similar unexpected
authentication timeouts.
