From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
The underlying mac80211 code cannot deal with fragmented
elements for purposes of sorting the elements into the
association frame, so reject those inside the link. We
might want to reject them inside the assoc frame, but
they're used today for FILS, so cannot do that.
The non-inheritance element inside the links similarly
cannot be handled by mac80211, and outside the links it
makes no sense.
Reject both since using them could lead to an incorrect
implementation.
