mac80211: export IE splitting function

Export ieee80211_ie_split function, so it can be reused by
drivers which need to insert additional elements.

+ * ieee80211_ie_split - split an IE buffer according to ordering
+ *
+ * @ies: the IE buffer
+ * @ielen: the length of the IE buffer
+ * @ids: an array with element IDs that are allowed before
+ *	the split
+ * @n_ids: the size of the element ID array
+ * @offset: offset where to start splitting in the buffer
+ *
+ * This function splits an IE buffer by updating the @offset
+ * variable to point to the location where the buffer should be
+ * split.
+ *
+ * It assumes that the given IE buffer is well-formed, this
+ * has to be guaranteed by the caller!
+ *
+ * It also assumes that the IEs in the buffer are ordered
+ * correctly, if not the result of using this function will not
+ * be ordered correctly either, i.e. it does no reordering.
+ *
+ * The function returns the offset where the next part of the
+ * buffer starts, which may be @ielen if the entire (remainder)
+ * of the buffer should be used.
