cfg80211: allow vendor specific cipher suites
cfg80211 currently rejects all cipher suites it doesn't know about for key length checking purposes. This can lead to inconsistencies when a driver advertises an algorithm that cfg80211 doesn't know about. Remove this rejection so drivers can specify any algorithm they like.
