Subject: [PATCH 5.10 2/4] mac80211: mlme: find auth challenge directly

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

There's no need to parse all elements etc. just to find the
authentication challenge - use cfg80211_find_elem() instead.
This also allows us to remove WLAN_EID_CHALLENGE handling
from the element parsing entirely.
