mac80211: Handle scan result IEs in one block

Browse source

Clean up and extend scan result processing by storing all the IEs from
Beacon/Probe Response frames in a single block instead of allocating
memory for each specific IE separately. This removes lot of unnecessary
code and automatically supports reporting of new IEs (e.g., IEEE
802.11r) into user space without need to manually extend mac80211
scanning code whenever a new protocol adds IE(s).
