Subject: [PATCH 3.16 108/132] mac80211: drop robust management frames from
 unknown TA

3.16.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 588f7d39b3592a36fb7702ae3b8bdd9be4621e2f upstream.

When receiving a robust management frame, drop it if we don't have
rx->sta since then we don't have a security association and thus
couldn't possibly validate the frame.
