When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, the deauthentication and disassociation frames must be protected whenever the encryption keys are configured. We were removing the STA entry and with it, the keys, just before actually sending out these frames which meant that the frames went out unprotected. The AP will drop them in such a case. Fix this by reordering the operations a bit so that sta_info_destroy_addr() gets called only after ieee80211_send_deauth_disassoc().
