This fixes the following crash:

0. do not modprobe macsec
1. create veth pair
2. run two wpa_supplicant linux_macsec instances on both ends
3. see one instance crash

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
macsec_linux: genl resolve failed
macsec_linux: genl resolve failed
macsec_linux: NULL rtnl socket
