[PATCH 16/25][SRU][OEM-5.14] mac80211: mlme: find auth challenge directly

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1939528

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.
