cfg80211: fix SME connectmaster-2009-09-16

There's a check saying
	/* we're good if we have both BSSID and channel */
	if (wdev->conn->params.bssid && wdev->conn->params.channel) {

but that isn't true -- we need the BSS struct. This leads
to errors such as

    Trying to associate with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40 (SSID='TEST' freq=2412 MHz)
    ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: No such file or directory
    ioctl[SIOCSIWESSID]: No such file or directory
    Association request to the driver failed
    Associated with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40

in wpa_supplicant, as reported by Holger.

Instead, we really need to have the BSS struct, and if we
don't, then we need to initiate a scan for it. But we may
already have the BSS struct here, so hang on to it if we
do and scan if we don't.
