rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent reconnect attempts if not connected
commit 8fd77aec1a9d6f4328fc0244f21932114e066df3 upstream.
This driver has a watchdog timer that attempts to reconnect when beacon frames
are not seen for 6 seconds. This patch disables that reconnect whenever the
device has never been connected.
