mac80211: Fix key freeing to handle unlinked keys
Key locking simplification removed key->sdata != NULL verification from
ieee80211_key_free(). While that is fine for most use cases, there is one
path where this function can be called with an unlinked key (i.e.,
key->sdata == NULL && key->local == NULL). This results in a NULL pointer
dereference with the current implementation. This is known to happen at
least with FT protocol when wpa_supplicant tries to configure the key
before association.
Avoid the issue by passing in the local pointer to
ieee80211_key_free(). In addition, do not clear the key from hw_accel
or debugfs if it has not yet been added. At least the hw_accel one could
trigger another NULL pointer dereference.
