From: Avraham Stern <avraham.stern at intel.com>

According to Multiband Operation specification (r17, section 3.5.2),
a BSS Transition Management Request with the disassociation imminent
bit set should always be accepted.

This is enforced in case the request did not include a candidate list.
However, in case a candidate list was included but none of the APs in
the candidate list was found in the scan results, the request is
rejected.

Fix that by always accepting a request with the disassociation imminent
bit set even if no roaming candidate was found.
