[PATCH] If P2P device expires while GO nego is in progress, indicate GO Nego failure.

[Jithu Jance]

Hi Jouni,

This patch addresses a corner case in GO-Negotiation case. Consider the scenario where two devices A and B are in discovery stage and Device B vanishes [moves out of range] when a connect is issued on the Device A. Then Device A keeps on retrying the GO Nego req till the retry limit is reached. On reaching retry limit, the pending group interface is removed. But suppose if the peer entry in the device list expires before the retry limit is reached, then pending group interface is not removed.
 
This patch will indicate go nego failure and will remove any pending group interfaces. Kindly see whether the patch is okay.

Subject: [PATCH] If P2P device expires while GO nego is in progress, indicate GO Nego failure.

If P2P device expires while a GO negotiation is in progress, currently p2p->go_neg_peer is cleared without indicating GO Nego failure.
This will result in pending group interfaces to be left over. This patch will indicate go nego failure and will remove any pending
group interfaces.
