cfg80211: Specify the reason for connect timeout
This enhances the connect timeout API to also carry the reason for the timeout. These reason codes for the connect time out are represented by enum nl80211_timeout_reason and are passed to user space through a new attribute NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT_REASON (u32).
