macsec: limit ICV length to 16 octets
IEEE 802.1AE-2006 standard recommends that the ICV element in a MACsec
frame should not exceed 16 octets: add MACSEC_STD_ICV_LEN in uapi
definitions accordingly, and avoid accepting configurations where the ICV
length exceeds the standard value. Leave definition of MACSEC_MAX_ICV_LEN
unchanged for backwards compatibility with userspace programs.
Fixes: dece8d2b78d1 ("uapi: add MACsec bits")
