[PATCH] cfg80211: do not replace BSS structs

[PATCH] cfg80211: do not replace BSS structs

[Johannes Berg]

Instead, allocate extra IE memory if necessary. Normally,
this isn't even necessary since there's enough space.

This is a better way of correcting the "held BSS can
disappear" issue, but also a lot more code. It is also
necessary for proper auth/assoc BSS handling in the
future.

John, you could roll this into one commit with the bandaid I posted
before, and if you think it's appropriate both can go into .30. But the
bandaid is sufficient for .30.
