PTKSA: Fix a potential hostapd memory leak during reconfiguration

Some of the reconfiguration cases (e.g., with WPS reconfiguration
enabling WPA/WPA2) might end up calling hostapd_setup_wpa() twice
without calling hostapd_deinit_wpa() in the middle. This would have
resulted in a memory leak since the PTKSA cache was being reinitialized
without freeing previous memory allocation.

Fix this by making PTKSA cachine initialization independent of
hapd->wpa_auth so that reinitialization does not happen in a manner that
would have overridden the old hapd->ptksa pointer without freeing the
referenced resources.
