mac80211: avoid NULL ptr deref when using WEP
"mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment" changed an if-else into two separate if statments, but the if-else is needed to prevent dereferencing a null info->control.hw_key. This fixes avoids a lock-up during association on my machine when using WEP. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
