When wpa_supplicant sends NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE to kernel, it is
possible that the cfg80211 in kernel has expired the BSS entry that
we are trying to auth with. Then cfg80211 will reject the auth cmd.
In this case, wpa_supplicant will trigger a single channel scan to
refresh cfg80211 BSS entry, and retry the auth when scan is finished.
When this case happens, wpa_supplicant makes a copy of auth params,
such as frequency, bssid, ssid, ie and so on. So when we retry auth,
the copy of these params will be used. The problem is, a param named
auth_data is missed when making the copy. The auth_data is used by
NL80211_ATTR_SAE_DATA which is a mandatory field for WPA3-SAE auth.
In WPA3-SAE case the auth retry will always fail because auth_data is
missing. This patch fixes the issue.
