[PATCH 3.18 03/20] mac80211: use constant time comparison with keys

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2bdd713b92a9cade239d3c7d15205a09f556624d upstream.

Otherwise we risk leaking information via timing side channel.

Fixes: fdf7cb4185b6 ("mac80211: accept key reinstall without changing anything")
