staging: rtl8723bs: Fix key-store index handling



There are 2 issues with the key-store index handling

1. The non WEP key stores can store keys with indexes 0 - BIP_MAX_KEYID,
   this means that they should be an array with BIP_MAX_KEYID + 1
   entries. But some of the arrays where just BIP_MAX_KEYID entries
   big. While one other array was hardcoded to a size of 6 entries,
   instead of using the BIP_MAX_KEYID define.

2. The rtw_cfg80211_set_encryption() and wpa_set_encryption() functions
   index check where checking that the passed in key-index would fit
   inside both the WEP key store (which only has 4 entries) as well as
   in the non WEP key stores. This breaks any attempts to set non WEP
   keys with index 4 or 5.

Issue 2. specifically breaks wifi connection with some access points
which advertise PMF support. Without this fix connecting to these
access points fails with the following wpa_supplicant messages:

 nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed
 wlan0: WPA: Failed to configure IGTK to the driver
 wlan0: RSN: Failed to configure IGTK
 wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=... reason=1 locally_generated=1

Fix 1. by using the right size for the key-stores. After this 2. can
safely be fixed by checking the right max-index value depending on the
used algorithm, fixing wifi not working with some PMF capable APs.
