[RFC 05/07] mac80211: Purge cfg80211 beacon cache before authentication.

["Dmitry Tarnyagin" <abi.dmitryt@gmail.com>]

From: Dmitry Tarnyagin <dmitry.tarnyagin@stericsson.com>

cw1200 device requires SSID to be available at AUTH stage.
cfg80211 beacon cache is designed to handle multi-SSID BSSes, so
bss struct returned by cfg80211_get_bss() has random SSID if BSS
just changed SSID before authentication (typical for p2p).

As a workaround cfg80211 beacon cache is purged to make sure
target BSS is searchable in rb-tree at the AUTH stage.
