[PATCH 2/3] wifi: iwlwifi: mld: defer freeing PTK PN state on key failure

[Zhao Li]

The PTK packet-number state is published to RCU readers before the key is
installed in firmware.

If firmware rejects the key, the error path clears the pointer and
immediately frees the state while an RX reader may still hold it.

Defer the free until after an RCU grace period, matching the normal key
removal path.
