I don't think this correct behavior. When the operation is initiated by
a peer (e.g., GO Neg Req from unknown peer in this specific case)
instead of some user action on the local device, I'd continue to
previously requested local operation (p2p_listen/p2p_find in this case).

I'm not sure what the case was in August, but at least now that I added
a new hwsim test case for this both for p2p_listen and p2p_find, the
operation does continue after having transmitted the GO Negotiation
Response (status=1). As such, I'm not sure what else would need to be
changed. Anyway, if you can still see a case where the P2P listen/search
gets stopped unexpectedly, I'd like to see a debug log showing the
sequence that can hit that case.

As far as this patch to clear state on GO Neg Resp failure callback is
concerned, I'm dropping it now since I don't think it is correct thing
to do in that case.
