mac80211: use exact-size allocation for authentication frame
The authentication frame has a fixied size of 30 bytes (including header, algo num, trans seq num, and status) followed by a variable challenge text. Allocate using exact size, instead of over-allocation by sizeof(ieee80211_mgmt). Signed-off-by: Fred Zhou <fred.zy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
