mac80211: mark station unauthorized before key removal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If a station is still marked as authorized, mark it as no longer
so before removing its keys. This allows frames transmitted to it
to be rejected, providing additional protection against leaking
plain text data during the disconnection flow.
