Wen Gong 61304336c6 wifi: mac80211: allow transmitting EAPOL frames with tainted key
Lower layer device driver stop/wake TX by calling ieee80211_stop_queue()/
ieee80211_wake_queue() while hw scan. Sometimes hw scan and PTK rekey are
running in parallel, when M4 sent from wpa_supplicant arrive while the TX
queue is stopped, then the M4 will pending send, and then new key install
from wpa_supplicant. After TX queue wake up by lower layer device driver,
the M4 will be dropped by below call stack.

When key install started, the current key flag is set KEY_FLAG_TAINTED in
ieee80211_pairwise_rekey(), and then mac80211 wait key install complete by
lower layer device driver. Meanwhile ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() will return
TX_DROP for the M4 in step 12 below, and then ieee80211_free_txskb() called
by ieee80211_tx_dequeue(), so the M4 will not send and free, then the rekey
process failed becaue AP not receive M4. Please see details in steps below.

There are a interval between KEY_FLAG_TAINTED set for current key flag and
install key complete by lower layer device driver, the KEY_FLAG_TAINTED is
set in this interval, all packet including M4 will be dropped in this
interval, the interval is step 8~13 as below.

issue steps:
      TX thread                 install key thread
1.   stop_queue                      -idle-
2.   sending M4                      -idle-
3.   M4 pending                      -idle-
4.     -idle-                  starting install key from wpa_supplicant
5.     -idle-                  =>ieee80211_key_replace()
6.     -idle-                  =>ieee80211_pairwise_rekey() and set
                                 currently key->flags |= KEY_FLAG_TAINTED
7.     -idle-                  =>ieee80211_key_enable_hw_accel()
8.     -idle-                  =>drv_set_key() and waiting key install
                                 complete from lower layer device driver
9.   wake_queue                     -waiting state-
10.  re-sending M4                  -waiting state-
11.  =>ieee80211_tx_h_select_key()  -waiting state-
12.  drop M4 by KEY_FLAG_TAINTED    -waiting state-
13.    -idle-                   install key complete with success/fail
                                  success: clear flag KEY_FLAG_TAINTED
                                  fail: start disconnect

Hence add check in step 11 above to allow the EAPOL send out in the
interval. If lower layer device driver use the old key/cipher to encrypt
the M4, then AP received/decrypt M4 correctly, after M4 send out, lower
layer device driver install the new key/cipher to hardware and return
success.

If lower layer device driver use new key/cipher to send the M4, then AP
will/should drop the M4, then it is same result with this issue, AP will/
should kick out station as well as this issue.
