commit 63d7ef36 upstream.

Per the 802.11 specification, vendor IEs are (at minimum) only required
to contain an OUI. A type field is also included in ieee80211.h (struct
ieee80211_vendor_ie) but doesn't appear in the specification. The
remaining fields (subtype, version) are a convention used in WMM
headers.

Thus, we should not reject vendor-specific IEs that have only the
minimum length (3 bytes) -- we should skip over them (since we only want
to match longer IEs, that match either WMM or WPA formats). We can
reject elements that don't have the minimum-required 3 byte OUI.

While we're at it, move the non-standard subtype and version fields into
the WMM structs, to avoid this confusion in the future about generic
"vendor header" attributes.
