ath6kl: Fix cfg80211 warning while starting IBSS mode

When the connect event is received from the target in IBSS mode,
cfg80211_ibss_joined() is called without informing BSS info to
cfg80211 layer which internally hits the below WARN_ON message.

WARNING: at net/wireless/ibss.c:33 __cfg80211_ibss_joined+0x153/0x180 [cfg80211]()

This patch make sures that BSS info is delivered via cfg80211_inform_bss()
to cfg80211 in advance before intimating IBSS status to cfg80211.

In addition to this, one debug message is also added to know
ad-hoc mode status (creator/joiner).
