Subject: [PATCH] [v2] Staging: rtl8188eu: rtw_mlme: Fix uninitialized variable authmode

The variable authmode can be uninitialized. The danger would be if
it equals to _WPA_IE_ID_ (0xdd) or _WPA2_IE_ID_ (0x33). We can avoid
this by setting it to zero instead. This is the approach that was
used in the rtl8723bs driver.

Fixes: 7b464c9fa5cc ("staging: r8188eu: Add files for new driver - part 4")
