This is not good.. We should really make sure that deauth/disassoc is
sent out at proper time to avoid clients getting stuck believing that
they are associated.

Why does the kernel no longer send this notification? The current
wireless-dev.git seems to have this still in use and as such, I have not
applied this change into hostapd and would rather not apply it either,
i.e., if there is some need for getting rid of
ieee80211_msg_sta_not_assoc, I would like to see it being done by
providing similar functionality by some other means, not by just
removing this.
