P2P: Wait 100 ms if driver fails to start listen operation

Browse source 
Some drivers may accept the remain-on-channel command, but instead of
indicating start event for remain-on-channel, just indicate that the
operation has been canceled immediately. This could result in continuous
loop of search/listen states with very limited time to do anything else
in wpa_supplicant if the scan command is also completed quickly (e.g.,
if the driver is unable to scan other channels than the current
operating channel).

As a workaround, do not start the next step (search) in P2P device
discovery if this type of rejection of listen operation is detected.
This gives some more time for wpa_supplicant to handle whatever else
may be needed at to be done at the same time and reduces the amount
of CPU used in a loop that does not really work correctly from the
view point of being discoverable.
