From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
When the station is marked as no longer authorized, we shouldn't
transmit to it any longer, but in particular we shouldn't be able
to transmit to it after removing keys, which might lead to frames
being sent out unencrypted depending on the exact hardware offload
mechanism. Thus, instead of flushing only on station destruction,
which covers only some cases, always flush on unauthorization.
