3.5.7.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

commit 9690fb169b433a66485c808e4fc352b8a0f8d866 upstream.

Instead of the current whitelist which accepts duplicates
only for the quiet and vendor IEs, use a blacklist of all
IEs (that we currently parse) that can't be duplicated.

This avoids detecting a beacon as corrupt in the future
when new IEs are added that can be duplicated.

[ herton: dropped WLAN_EID_VHT_CAPABILITY and WLAN_EID_VHT_OPERATION
