[PATCH] Reset the ssid in wps before being replaced with the one in credential.

[Spencer Chang]

Hi Jouni,

Sorry for misleading.
That code of generating random SSID is added by myself for customer's
request, and I misunderstood how the SSID buffer should be used. Therefore,
I created an issue of wrong SSID on dual band product and that issue could
be fixed with that patch of resetting SSID buffer.
And then I thought may be the SSID buffer should be reset even in original
hostapd code (without random SSID generation). But I am wrong.
After you and Johannes described, I know the root cause of that wrong SSID
issue I created and it should be fixed by following the right way of using
SSID buffer, and it is not necessary to reset the SSID buffer.

Thanks for your responses and sorry for misleading again.
