[05/10] mac80211: Improve connection-loss probing.

Commit Message

Ben Greear Nov. 8, 2019, 7:42 p.m. UTC

From: Ben Greear <[e-mail]>

This makes the mlme code probe multiple times spread out across
the time-out period instead of lots of probes all at once.

It also makes the ap-probe and the nullfunc probe logic
act similarly, which allows us to remove some code.
