mac80211: Fix n-band association problem

There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while
parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems).
Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE.
While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie.
If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request.
So n-only association fails.
And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie,
which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.
