mac80211: don't drop mesh peering frames from unknown STA
Previously, mesh peering frames from a STA without a station
entry were being dropped.
Mesh Peering Open and other frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED)
are valid mesh peering frames even if received from a yet unknown
station; the STA entry will be created in mesh_peer_init later.
The problem didn't occur previously since both STAs receive each
other's beacons which created the STA entry. However, this causes
an unnecessary delay and beacons might not be received if either
node is in PS mode.

If ieee80211_prep_channel() decides that HT should be

HT capabilities to the AP when associating. If this
happens during authentication, the flag will be lost

Fix this by always resetting the ifmgd flags to zero

To make the code a bit easier move the call to release

It does not make sense to keep a station alive if it is not authorised
