[PATCH] mac80211: Don't squash error codes in key setup functions

[Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ieee80211_add_key() currently returns -ENOMEM in case of any error,
including a missing crypto algorithm.  Change ieee80211_key_alloc()
and ieee80211_aes_{key_setup_encrypt,cmac_key_setup}() to encode
errors with ERR_PTR() rather than returning NULL, and change
ieee80211_add_key() accordingly.

Compile-tested only.
