mac80211: treat some SAE auth steps as final
When we get anti-clogging token required (added by the commit mentioned below), or the other status codes added by the later commit 4e56cde1 ("mac80211: Handle special status codes in SAE commit") we currently just pretend (towards the internal state machine of authentication) that we didn't receive anything. This has the undesirable consequence of retransmitting the prior frame, which is not expected, because the timer is still armed. If we just disarm the timer at that point, it would result in the undesirable side effect of being in this state indefinitely if userspace crashes, or so. So to fix this, reset the timer and set a new auth_data->waiting in order to have no more retransmissions, but to have the data destroyed when the timer actually fires, which will only happen if userspace didn't continue (i.e. crashed or abandoned it.)
