mac80211: do not drop tx nulldata packets on encrypted links

commit 2463ec86

 upstream.

ieee80211_tx_h_select_key drops any non-mgmt packets without a key when
encryption is used. This is wrong for nulldata packets that can't be
encrypted and are sent out for probing clients and indicating 4-address
mode.
