[PATCH 2/2] net: mac80211: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in ieee80211_xmit_fast_finish()

[Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx>]

In ieee80211_xmit_fast_finish(), there is an if statement on line 3356
to check whether key is NULL:
    if (key)

When key is NULL, it is used on line 3388:
    switch (key->conf.cipher)
and line 3393:
    pn = atomic64_inc_return(&key->conf.tx_pn);
and line 3396:
    crypto_hdr[3] = 0x20 | (key->conf.keyidx << 6);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, key is checked on line 3384.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
