mac80211: add missing synchronize_rcu
commit ad0e2b5a00dbec303e4682b403bb6703d11dcdb2
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: simplify key locking
removed the synchronization against RCU and thus
opened a race window where we can use a key for
TX while it is already freed. Put a synchronisation
into the right place to close that window.
