mac80211: provide SSID for IBSS vif

Commit Message

Some drivers need SSID in AP and IBSS mode. AP SSID is provided
through BSS_CHANGED_SSID notification. There was no easy way
to do the same for IBSS. In IBSS mode SSID is known but was
not stored in BSS configuration. This patch provides functionality
which stores IBSS ssid in BSS conf and expands BSS_CHANGED_SSID
notification to cover also IBSS mode.

I think you should also clear the ssid_len when disconnecting.
