[PATCH 1/2] dpp: check that DPP is running in station watch

[James Prestwood]

This was causing unneeded WARNING prints because the DPP state
was never checked. Fix this and bail out if DPP isn't running.

[PATCH 2/2] dpp: check for non-utf8 SSID's in scan results

[James Prestwood]

In theory this shouldn't be possible because the configuration object
validates that the SSID is utf-8. But it doesn't hurt to check
especially since we can't control what the kernel sends us.

This still seems brittle.  You have the validated SSID from the DPP session, 
shouldn't you be storing that and using it to filter the scan results?  There's 
no guarantee that a filtered active scan is going to return only the SSID you 
asked for (lets say a misbehaving or malicious AP), so assuming that the first 
BSS in the scan results list is the SSID you want isn't really guaranteed.

Sure I can do that. I was banking on the kernel filtering, but we can be 
100% sure and just store the SSID in the dpp_sm.
