nl80211: Clear BSS state mismatches with deauth as a workaround

There seem to be some cases in which wpa_supplicant and
cfg80211/mac80211 seem to have different understanding on
authentication/association state. Since cfg80211/mac80211 is very strict
on when it accepts new authentication/association/scan commands, try our
best at clearing such state mismatches by explicitly deauthenticating
from BSSes with which the driver claims we are associated with if we do
not have local information about such association.
