[PATCH 4.4 21/39] net: wireless: nl80211: fix out-of-bounds access in nl80211_del_key()

commit 3dc289f8f139997f4e9d3cfccf8738f20d23e47b upstream.

In nl80211_parse_key(), key.idx is first initialized as -1.
If this value of key.idx remains unmodified and gets returned, and
nl80211_key_allowed() also returns 0, then rdev_del_key() gets called
with key.idx = -1.
This causes an out-of-bounds array access.

Handle this issue by checking if the value of key.idx after
nl80211_parse_key() is called and return -EINVAL if key.idx < 0.
