[PATCH] P2P: Disconnect P2P group on supplicant deinit

[Shah, Nirav J2]

Hey Jouni, 

You are right it does break the non dbus build because of wpa_printf message in the patch which references dbus_groupobj_path. Also I have realized that wpa_supplicant_deinit_iface() may not be a good place to do p2p specific operation. To answer your question about the leak, although wpas_notify_p2p_group_removed is enough to solve the immediate problem, I am calling wpas_p2p_group_delete to avoid similar cleanup issues in the future. And I do need ssid portion of code in wpas_p2p_group_delete as well. 

I have created an updated patch (I will send that to the mailing list in a few mins).Here I am calling the same function inside wpas_p2p_deinit_global(). If you know of a better way to do this let me know and I can redo the patch. 

Thanks,
Nirav.

This breaks non-D-Bus builds..

And this could potentially free the wpa_s structure which looks
suspicious when the following statement here dereferences the pointer:

This will need to be done differently. What parts of
wpas_p2p_group_delete() are needed to avoid the memory leak? Just the
call to wpas_notify_p2p_group_removed() to get
wpas_dbus_unregister_p2p_group() called to free
wpa_s->dbus_groupobj_path?
