From: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]> commit 2463ec86cd0338a2c2edbfb0b9d50c52ff76ff43 upstream.
ieee80211_tx_h_select_key drops any non-mgmt packets without a key when encryption is used. This is wrong for nulldata packets that can't be encrypted and are sent out for probing clients and indicating 4-address mode.
