Without this patch, eapol frames cannot be received in mesh mode, when 802.1X should be used. Initially only a MGTK is defined, which is found and set as rx->key, when there are no other keys set. ieee80211_drop_unencrypted would then drop these eapol frames, as they are data frames without encryption and there exists some rx->key. Fix this by differentiating between mesh eapol frames and other data frames with existing rx->key. Allow mesh mesh eapol frames only if they are for our vif address. If a check for eapol frames fails, the previous drop check is executed (thanks to a kernel test bot, which found an issue in a previous patch version here). With this patch in-place, ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding continues after the ieee80211_drop_unencrypted check and notices, that these eapol frames have to be delivered locally, as they should.
