mac80211: fix deauth before assoc
When we receive a deauthentication frame before having successfully associated, we neither print a message nor abort assocation. The former makes it hard to debug, while the latter later causes a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be the case, association timed out. This warning was reported by many, e.g. in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981, but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame instead of an association response.
