Subject: [PATCH V4] staging: rtl8192e: Fix signedness bug in rtllib_rx_assoc_resp()

The rtllib_rx_assoc_resp() function has a signedness bug because it's
a declared as a u16 but it return -ENOMEM.  When you look at it more
closely it returns a mix of error codes including 0xcafe, -ENOMEM, and
a->status which is WLAN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_ALG.  This is a mess.

Clean it up to just return standard kernel error codes.  We can print
out the a->status before returning a regular error code.  The printks
in the caller need to be adjusted as well.

V1->V2: reduce return random value; print its own error message.
V2->V3: change commit message; change s16 -> int.
V3->V4: 
1. change message suggested by Dan Carpenter;
2. hold a->status in auth_parse() and return error code or 0 on success.
3. print le16_to_cpu(errcode) -> int %d.
