There has been a number of deployed "pre Wi-Fi 7" APs that enable MLO
with WPA2-Personal and without PMF. As such, this change would seem to
cause inconvenient user experience and no way of working around that
regardless of whether the local device even supports MLO. In practice,
the most convenient approach for this seems to be to allow the
connection, but disable MLO if PMF cannot be negotiated.

IEEE P802.11be/D7.0 does not actually disallow PSK AKMs for EHT cases.
Such a requirement comes from WFA for Wi-Fi 7. I don't think
wpa_supplicant should be trying to enforce this taken into account those
early deployed APs that are known to use WPA2-Personal with MLO.
