mac80211: fix various problems in ibss code



There are a few problems in the IBSS code:
 a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning
 b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active
 c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible
    only after all other settings are set, this helps protect
    against b)

For b), we get a system crash:

wlan0: Creating new IBSS network, BSSID ce:f9:88:76:1e:4d
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
