Sometimes when reporting a MIC failure rx->key may be unset. This code path is hit when receiving a packet meant for a multicast address, and decryption is performed in HW. Fortunately, the failing key_idx is not used for anything up to (and including) usermode, so we allow ourselves to drop it on the way up when a key cannot be retrieved.
