Subject: [PATCH] qcacmn: Introduce wlan_is_ie_valid()

In change "qcacld-3.0: Validate Scan Default IEs" in the qcacld-3.0
project (Change-Id: Ifd8739c96a9990f01ff159eb59a7e904f7b8c592) the
utility API hdd_is_ie_valid() was introduced. One review comment was
that this should be a converged API, so rename and relocate the API.

Change-Id: I8d2a520ea70645ab54b450de83452c0035653485
