IEEE 802.15.4 Payload IE Handling

[Klaus Hueske <Klaus.Hueske () renesas com>]

Hi all,

happy to see that recent versions of the 802.15.4 dissector support the dissection of 802.15.4 header and payload 
information elements.

However, there seem to be some issues in the current implementation, especially for unknown payload IEs:

1. The call of "dissect_ieee802154_payload_ie" is after setting "payload_tvb". This leads to the issue that dissection 
of the next higher protocol starts after the header information elements, not after the payload information elements.

2. Inside "dissect_ieee802154_payload_ie" the "offset" is not incremented in the default case, a line "offset += 
pie_length;" seems to be missing.

I attached some quick fix as a workaround for the above issues, but this would only work in cases where no encryption 
is used.

Best regards,

Klaus
