RFC: Patch allowing associate immediately following unassociate in SME mode.

[Blaise Gassend]

Hi,

When I try to do a wpa_supplicant_disassociate immediately followed by
a wpa_supplicant_associate, I get a lot of association failures due to
disassociation or disauthentication messges for the previous
association killing the new association. The following patch appears
to fix the problem by ignoring events that do not relate to the
association that is currently in progres (at least for non-encrypted
connections). However, it prevents wpa_supplicant_event_disassoc from
being called, which could lead to problems that I am not anticipating
at the bottom of the EVENT_DEAUTH case. Anybody know what kind of
trouble I might be running into by preventing the cleanup that would
take place in wpa_supplicant_event_disassoc from happening?

Thanks,
Blaise

Note: This is against a modified 0.7.2 tree, so it might not be
entirely up to date. This fix isn't in there yet.
