[PATCH] wpa_supplicant: Fix crash when terminating all interfaces

From: Moshe Benji <Moshe.Benji at intel.com>

In wpa_supplicant_terminate_proc(), while iterating and
terminating interfaces, after an interface is terminated
we can no longer access its memory as it is no longer valid
and causes a crash.

Fix this by saving the pointer to the next interface before freeing
the current one to avoid accessing an invalid memory location.
