Work around interop issue with WPA type EAPOL-Key 4/4 in WPA2 mode

Some deployed station implementations seem to send msg 4/4 with
incorrect type value in WPA2 mode. Add a workaround to ignore that issue
so that such stations can interoperate with hostapd authenticator. The
validation checks were added in commit
f8e96eb6fd.
