mac80211: add missing synchronize_rcu
commit ad0e2b5a00dbec303e4682b403bb6703d11dcdb2 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Tue Jun 1 10:19:19 2010 +0200 mac80211: simplify key locking removed the synchronization against RCU and thus opened a race window where we can use a key for TX while it is already freed. Put a synchronisation into the right place to close that window.
