Subject: mac80211: Fix regression that triggers a kernel BUG with CCMP
From: Ronald Wahl <ronald.wahl@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4f031fa9f188b2b0641ac20087d9e16bcfb4e49d upstream.
Commit 7ec7c4a9a686c608315739ab6a2b0527a240883c (mac80211: port CCMP to
cryptoapi's CCM driver) introduced a regression when decrypting empty
packets (data_len == 0). This will lead to backtraces like:

(__irq_svc) from [<c0009d44>] (arch_cpu_idle+0x2c/0x34)
Such packets can appear for example when using the carl9170 wireless driver
because hardware sometimes generates garbage when the internal FIFO overruns.
This patch adds an additional length check.
