If the device mode it toggled from 'ap' back to 'station' without actually
starting the access point ap_free attempts to zero out the psk, which
causes a crash because it had never been allocated (Start() never was
called). Since ap->psk is actually never used this was removed. Also added
a memset to zero out the pmk on cleanup.
This is the crash observed:

Rather than have device.c manage the creation/removal of
AP/AdHoc interfaces this new event was introduced. Now
anyone can listen for device events and if the mode changes
handle accordingly. This fixes potential memory leaks
in WSC when switching modes as well.
If netdev fails to set the keys, there was no way for device/ap to
know. A new handshake event was added for this. The key setting
failure function was also fixed to support both AP/station iftypes.
It will now automatically send either a disconnect or del_station
depending on the interface type.
In similar manner, netdev_handshake_failed was also modified to
support both AP/station iftypes. Now, any handshake event listeners
should call netdev_handshake_failed upon a handshake failure
event, including AP.
Now, a user can setup an AP as follows:
- Set device "Mode" to ap (ap interface will appear on bus)
- call "Start()" on AP interface
Issuing "Stop()" on the AP interface will stop and cleanup
the internal AP structures, but the AP interface will remain
up. To shutdown completely the device Mode must be switched
back to station. If the AP interface is running, the Mode can
directly be switched to station without calling Stop; this
has the same effect and will take down the AP interface.
Instead of manually sending a deauth/disassociate to a station
during an error or removal, the kernel can do it automatically
with DEL_STATION by including the MGMT_SUBTYPE attribute. This
removes the need for ap_error_deauth_sta and introduces
ap_deauthenticate_sta. Now AP can be explicit when it chooses
to deauth or disassociate.
All handshake packet handling has been removed from ap and
moved to eapol. After association, the AP registers a new
authenticator state machine which handles the AP side of
the handshake. AP will receive a handshake event once the
4-way handshake is complete.
With the introduction of Control Port Over NL80211 feature, the
transport details need to be moved out of eapol and into netdev.c.
Whether a given WiFi hardware supports transfer of Control Port packets
over NL80211 is Wiphy and kernel version related, so the transport
decisions need to be made elsewhere.
Set all the new field values into struct sta_state only after all the
error checks for better readabilty and fixing a possible issue if we
did "sta->rates = rates" and then detected en error and freed "rates".
Also update a comment which I think used the wording from 802.11-2012
instead of 802.11-2016.
DEL_KEY is not needed and will return errors right after NEW_STATION or
right after DEL_STATION. In both cases the kernel makes sure there are
no old keys for the station already.
Parse Association Request frames and send Association Responses, handle
Disassociation. With this we should be able to receive uncontrolled
port data frames since we register the STAs with the kernel.
In this version I don't register for Reassociation frames.
