[PATCH v2] mac80211: fix mlme timeouts

[Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>]

Subject: mac80211: fix mlme timeouts

When a new MLME work is created, its timeout is initialised
to 0. This is wrong, it could then be thought of as having
an actual timeout in the future (time_is_after_jiffies() can
return true). Instead, it should be initialised to jiffies
so that it will run right away as soon as the mlme work is
executed.

the assignment on probe response is, at least, unnecessary.
