mac80211: fix no-op authorized transitions 

When userspace attempts to authorize a station
that is already authorized, nothing happens as
you'd expect. Similarly, when it unauthorizes
a station that is associated, nothing happens.

However, when it unauthorizes a station that
isn't even associated yet, we erroneously try
to move the station to associated. This seems
to happen occasionally as a result of a race
when wpa_supplicant attempts to unauthorize
the port in managed mode. Particularly with my
new patches to keep stations, it can then move
a station into ASSOCIATED state before we have
really associated, which is really confusing.

I introduced this bug in
"mac80211: refactor station state transitions"
