ft: remove frame type check in FT

Browse Source 
A user reported that IWD was failing to FT in some cases and this was
due to the AP setting the Retry bit in the frame type. This was
unexpected by IWD since it directly checks the frame type against
0x00b0 which does not account for any B8-B15 bits being set.

IWD doesn't need to verify the frame type field for a few reasons:
First mpdu_validate checks the management frame type, Second the kernel
checks prior to forwarding the event. Because of this the check was
removed completely.
