[PATCH] driver_nl80211: fix control port protocol no-encrypt setting

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

Currently, driver_nl80211 sets NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT_NO_ENCRYPT
in AP mode, to get 802.1X frames out unencrypted. However, due to
the way nl80211/cfg80211 is implemented, this attribute is ignored
by the kernel if NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT_ETHERTYPE isn't specified
as well. Fix this by including NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT_ETHERTYPE
set to ETH_P_PAE. This can be done unconditionally, since the kernel
will allow ETH_P_PAE to be set even when the driver didn't advertise
support for arbitrary ethertypes.

Additionally, the params->pairwise_ciphers appear to not be set at
this point, so relax the check and allow them to be zero.

In client mode, this whole thing was missing, so add it. Again, the
pairwise suite can be WPA_CIPHER_NONE, so allow that case as well.
