cfg80211: fix WARN_ON for re-association to the expired BSS

cfg80211 allows re-association in managed mode and if a user
wants to re-associate to the same AP network after the time
period of IEEE80211_SCAN_RESULT_EXPIRE, cfg80211 warns with
the following message on receiving the connect result event.

The reason is that, in connect result event cfg80211 unholds
the BSS to which the device is associated (and was held so
far). So, for the event with status successful, when cfg80211
wants to get that BSS from the device's BSS list it gets a
NULL BSS because the BSS has been expired and unheld already.

Fix it by reshuffling the code.
