I encountered the same issue in an IBSS-RSN network, where quick reboot
of a station would cause issues with aggregation because the kernel is
not aware of the reboot.

I figured out that since wpa_supplicant already detect reboots, the
simplest way to fix it would be for wpa_supplicant to reset the entire
state of the station in the kernel, instead of just resetting keys and
port.

This means extending NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION to work in IBSS mode too,
just like it does in mesh point mode.

Changes:
	v2: Use a nl80211 feature flag instead of patching every driver.
