[PATCH 5.4 31/33] mac80211: do not drop tx nulldata packets on encrypted links

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx>

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.
