mac80211: remove crypto special case for auth frames
The shared key authentication frame that needs to be encrypted (the third one in the shared key handshake) is directly encrypted in ieee80211_send_auth and the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT is set. All others are not encrypted, so the only way to get to this is erroneously on no-monitor AP side. Remove the special case for authentication frames to fix the AP shared key side when operating without cooked monitor interfaces -- with cooked monitor the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT also gets set, so we never get here -- an AP never encrypts auth frames. Without this patch, an AP operating in WEP mode with my no-monitor patches would erroneously encrypt all authentication frames, instead of none.
