When userspace requests a deauth while the authentication work is pending in the auth (not probe) state, we do not properly abort the work and then things get confused. Fix that and also improve the checks here to include the correct virtual interface, just in case two virtual interfaces would ever try to connect to the same BSS. Also fix a bug -- need to use list_del_rcu instead of just list_del to free a work item.
