Those are a couple of fixes that prevent crashes due to processing
packets (especially multicast ones) for TX after vif is stopped (either
after a mesh interface left the group or interface is put down).

The first one ensure the key info passed to drivers through ieee80211
skb control block is up to date, even after key removal.

The second one ensure no packets get processed after vif driver private
data is cleared in ieee80211_do_stop().

As I tried to explain in second patch footnote, I can still see a
theoretical reason that packets get queued after ieee80211_do_stop()
call. But I was not able to reproduce it, so I may be missing a
something here; making that more as an open question.
