Fix connection on resume when CONFIG_ANDROID=y#145

The partial fix made in commit 2913f99 relies on the fact that during suspend/resume, netdev_close() calls rtw_indicate_disconnect() and that ultimately informs cfg80211 that we have disconnected. However that codepath doesn't run when CONFIG_ANDROID=y, so this bug is effectively back on kernels where that option is set, including current Ubuntu kernels. It's not a complete fix but should keep this codebase hobbling along... Going forward, the newer v5 driver mentioned in lwfinger#144 looks like it should handle this situation much better, as long as RTW_CFG80211_ALWAYS_INFORM_STA_DISCONNECT_EVENT is set, which I'd recommend doing.
