[PATCH 2/2] mac80211: reply to AUTH frame with a DEAUTH if sta allocation fails

[Antonio Quartulli <ordex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whenever a host gets an AUTH frame it first allocates a new station and then
replies with another AUTH frame. However, if sta allocations fails the host
should send a DEAUTH frame instead to tell the other end that something went
wrong
