AP: Fix infinite loop in WPA state machine when out of random bytes

Browse source 
When the OS is out of random bytes in SM_STATE(WPA_PTK, AUTHENTICATION2)
in ap/wpa_auth.c, hostapd sends the sm to state DISCONNECT without
clearing ReAuthenticationRequest, resulting in an infinite loop.
Clearing sm->ReAuthenticationRequest using gdb fixes the running hostapd
instance for me. Also sm->Disconnect = TRUE should be used instead of
wpa_sta_disconnect() to make sure that the incomplete ANonce does not
get used.

Fix this issue by resetting sm->ReAuthenticationRequest even if the STA
gets disconnected and use sm->Disconnect instead of
wpa_sta_disconnect().
