[PATCH] wifi: libertas: return consistent length in lbs_add_wpa_tlv()

The existing code only converts the first IE to a TLV, but it returns a
value that takes the length of all IEs into account. When there is more
than one IE (which happens with modern wpa_supplicant versions for
example), the returned length is too long and extra junk TLVs get sent
to the firmware, resulting in an association failure.

Fix this by returning a length that only factors in the single IE that
was converted. The firmware doesn't seem to support the additional IEs,
so there is no value in trying to convert them to additional TLVs.
