In highly congested network (BSSes almost on every channel
within ESS) we have hit a bug when wpa_supplicant become
completly irresponsive, infinite looping on while loop.

When probe_idx was equal 0 and we are not able to probe
new frequency, following condition were never fulfill:
"if (!in_array(freqs, data->supp_freqs[idx]))"
