[PATCH] ieee80211: Fix TKIP and WEP decryption error on SMP machines
The IEEE80211 TKIP and WEP Tx and Rx paths use the same crypto_tfm to encrypt
and decrypt data. During the encrypt and decrypt process, both of them will
set a new key to crypto_tfm. If they happen on the same time, it will
corrupt the crypto_tfm. Thus users will receive an ICV error or Michael MIC
error. This only likely to happen on SMP box with heavy traffic both on Tx
and Rx. The patch use two sets of crypto_tfms to avoid this problem.
