Like Dan pointed out, this reverts part of an earlier fix (that call has
to happen after wpa_supplicant_connect() for RSN module to know the
SSID). As such, I dropped this patch.

However, it is fine to add another call to
wpa_supplicant_rsn_preauth_scan_results() to be done in the skip-roaming
case because at that point, wpa_supplicant_connect() has already been
called for the first association to the network and SSID should already
be configured. This is now in hostap.git and I would expect it to
address the issues you reported without breaking the initial RSN
pre-authentication candidate update.
