[RFC 2/2] nl80211: make eloop sockets non-blocking

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

To avoid a problem where the beacon socket occasionally
blocks, mark any sockets on the eloop as non-blocking.
The previous patch reordered the code to never send a
command after a socket was put on the eloop, but now also
invalidate the nl handle pointer while it's on there.
