    rtlwifi_new: Fix all drivers to build correctly on Ubuntu 3.13
    
    In kernel 3.13.0-XX where XX is >= 32, Ubuntu has implemented the API
    change that was introduced in mainline V3.15 by commit d8ca16db6bb2 ("mac80211:
    add length check in ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame()"). The result is that the
    code in this repo gets it wrong for Ubuntu kernels. The result is
    a kernel that crashes when using the corresponging driver. Thanks to user
    "lenonk" at GitHub, there is a fix. I have not tested it as I do not use one
    of the affected kernels; however, it looks correct.
