Subject: [PATCH 4.4 02/28] mac80211: use constant time comparison with keys

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@...c4.com>

commit 2bdd713b92a9cade239d3c7d15205a09f556624d upstream.

Otherwise we risk leaking information via timing side channel.
