Hi Johannes,

When the rx packet is skb_copy(), the hdr is not re-assign the new skb value, and lead the

operation of "translate to MLD addresses" take effect on the original skb, and lead

the check "if (!ether_addr_equal(ifmgd->auth_data->ap_addr, mgmt->bssid))" fail in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_auth(),

and thus happened "authentication timed out".

After below change, issue not happen again.
