    wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't set the MFP flag for the GTK
    
    [ Upstream commit e35f316bce9e5733c9826120c1838f4c447b2c4c ]
    
    The firmware doesn't need the MFP flag for the GTK, it can even make the
    firmware crash. in case the AP is configured with: group cipher TKIP and
    MFPC. We would send the GTK with cipher = TKIP and MFP which is of course
    not possible.
