mac80211: allow driver to disconnect after resume
In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and similar information from the device upon resume, or if the device isn't responsive due to platform issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time could be replayed against it. The only protection against that is disconnecting from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while it is resuming would be very complex and invasive in the case that the driver requires a reconfig, so do it after it has resumed completely. In that case, however, packets might be replayed since it can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent or received with those keys.
