mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOM
The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors. Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size (IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an extra buffer for hex encoding.
