mac80211: discard multicast and 4-addr A-MSDUs
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642572 commit ea720935 upstream. In mac80211, multicast A-MSDUs are accepted in many cases that they shouldn't be accepted in: * drop A-MSDUs with a multicast A1 (RA), as required by the spec in 9.11 (802.11-2012 version) * drop A-MSDUs with a 4-addr header, since the fourth address can't actually be useful for them; unless 4-address frame format is actually requested, even though the fourth address is still not useful in this case, but ignored Accepting the first case, in particular, is very problematic since it allows anyone else with possession of a GTK to send unicast frames encapsulated in a multicast A-MSDU, even when the AP has client isolation enabled.
