When a station tries to connect to an AP and if the MAC of the
station is in the AP's block list, the station cannot connect to the
AP. This is notified to the userspace with event
NL80211_CMD_CONN_FAILED and attribute NL80211_ATTR_CONN_FAILED_REASON.
The reason sent will be NL80211_CONN_FAIL_BLOCKED_CLIENT.
