mac80211: Fixing slow IBSS rejoin

Browse source 
This patch fixes the issue of slow reconnection to an IBSS cell after
disconnection from it. Now the interface's bssid is reset upon ifdown.

ieee80211_sta_find_ibss:
if (found && memcmp(ifsta->bssid, bssid, ETH_ALEN) != 0 &&
	    (bss = ieee80211_rx_bss_get(dev, bssid,
					local->hw.conf.channel->center_freq,
					ifsta->ssid, ifsta->ssid_len)))

Note:
In general disconnection is still not handled properly in mac80211
