I agree with the change of not printing out this to stderr, but the
proposed patch is not correct. It moves perror() call to happen after
connect() at which point the original errno is not available anymore. I
replaced the perror() with wpa_printf(MSG_DEBUG, ..., strerror(errno))
without moving it in order to hide the message if debugging is not
enabled.
