[PATCH] mka: Fix unexpected cleanup

Because the key server may not include dist sak and use sak in ONE packet,
Meanwhile, after dist sak, the current participant(Non-Key Server) will
install SC or SA(s) after decoding the dist sak which may take few seconds
in real physical platforms. Meanwhile, the peer expire time is always
initialized at adding the key server to peer list. The gap between adding
the key server to peer list and processing next use sak packet may exceed
the threshold of MKA_LIFE_TIME(6s). It will cause an unexpected cleanup
(delete SC and SA(s)). So, update the expire timeout at dist sak also.
