[PATCH 14/18] wpa_supplicant: remove disconnected APs from BSS table

From: David Spinadel <david.spinadel at intel.com>

In some cases, after a sudden AP disappearing and reconnection to
another AP in the same ESS, if another scan ocures, wpa_supplicant might
try to roam to the old AP (if it was better ranked than the new one)
because it is still saved in BSS list and the blacklist entry was
cleared in previous reconnect. This attempt is going to fail because
the AP is not present anymore and it'll cause long disconnections.

Remove an AP that is probably out of range from BSS list to avoid
such disconnections.
