Ok. Then that packet is going to get dropped when it reaches the
driver, right? At this point the TXSA we need shouldn't be configured
anymore, so the driver/NIC won't be able to handle that skb. It would
be bad if we just sent the packet unencrypted.

nit: dst_release checks that dst is not NULL, so we don't need this
test that I added in commit c52add61c27e ("macsec: don't free NULL
metadata_dst")
