[PATCH v2 2/3] ath10k: Fix locking for WEP keys

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha at qca.qualcomm.com>

peer->keys needs to be protected by data_lock
since it is also accessed from the WMI path.

Both install() and clear() routines for peer
keys modify the key contents, so use the data_lock
to avoid races.
