It would be nice to get a bit more complete commit message that explains
why this can be done. Surely there was some reason for the previous more
complex design..

This removes the only use of bssid in send_auth_reply(). Is that really
correct for all cases? It might be, but again, this needs more
justification in the commit message. In addition, this should remove the
bssid argument from this function and potentially in a number of calling
functions as well since all the would now be unused.
