cfg80211: fix cmp_ies
When comparing two items by IE, the sort order wasn't stable, which could lead to issues in the rbtree. Make it stable by making a missing IE sort before a present IE. Also sort by length first if it differs and then by contents. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
