This patch enables power save processing for encrypted frames even if the encryption key is not set. This is a requirement when implementing split-MAC systems like Anyfi.net [1] and CAPWAP [2] on mac80211 using monitor frame injection and reception. The mac80211 RX handlers are reordered slightly so that the power save handler is invoked before the decryption handler. The patch is minimal in the sense that it provides the required functionality with a minimal change, but I am open to suggestions if this change is too intrusive. Please let me know what you think.
