[PATCH v2] P2P: prevent p2pdev from roaming

It was possible for a P2P_DEVICE to receive scan results and
subsequently start roaming due to a matching network. This caused
P2P find stop working (state machines seemed to be confused).

The test case was as follows:

 1. start wpa_s on wlan1,
 2. wlan1 scans, matches BSS and connects to configured network,
 3. p2p_find, p2p_connect (p2p-wlan1-0 gets created) as client,
 4. kill the GO (e.g. eject usb dongle) to trigger beacon loss on client,
 5. p2p-wlan-1-0 disconnects, runs scan but results aren't consumed so
    sibling wpa_s get them (including the P2P_DEVICE: p2p-dev-wlan1 in
    this case),
 6. p2p-dev-wlan1 starts sme-connect work becuase it finds a matching network
    (the one wlan1 is already connected to).

Since p2p-dev-* isn't even a netdev make sure to prevent roaming
for it and prevent subsequent state machine confusion.
