The need for this was a bit difficult to understand based on the commit
message, but I think the real issue here was in wpa_s->sme.ft_used not
getting cleared and that resulting in new ft_ies buffer being used in
sme_authenticate().

In addition, this needs some more protection to avoid breaking builds
that do not define CONFIG_SME (and well, the missing '}' is needed,
too. I applied this with the build issues fixed and by using the
existing sme_update_ft_ies() function to clear the state to avoid
duplicated code for this.
