Currently, host driver checks if MLO IE is present or not if an auth
frame is received in 11be station mode. But it's observed that some
APs send auth frame with invalid contents(e.g. missing MLO IE in the
frame) though it has already responded with a proper auth frame and
authentication is completed.
Host driver drops this frame and initiates a disconnection as the frame
contents are invalid. Auth node gpLimMlmAuthReq is accessed as part of
the cleanup. But host driver has cleaned up the auth_node when it
received the valid frame2. So, host driver can ignore the invalid frame
as authentication is already completed to avoid disconnection/access of
freed object gpLimMlmAuthReq.
Check for the MLO IE presence in auth frame only if driver is waiting for
the auth frame(auth_frame2) to avoid disconnect/invalid access of
freed auth_node.
