Subject: [PATCH 12/12] d80211: Reinit keys on mode change

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@....de>

Switching the interface mode with some encryption keys set and then later
touching any key, triggers an oops because ieee80211_if_reinit fails to
NULL'ify the related pointers after free'ing the key on mode change. Long
explanation, simple fix below.
