Due to the fact that we (still) keep old BSS information, we can end
up switching between 2 or more BSSIDs when in IBSS (these are the
BSSIDs of networks with the same name we've seen before, even if they
are not around anymore). This switching happens in 30sec intervals
(IBSS merge attempt when no active STAs are around).
This patch expires old BSS entries after IEEE80211_SCAN_RESULT_EXPIRE
seconds (the same time after it will not be reported in scan results)
when trying to merge.
