Some drivers use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX to indicate that management frames need to be software encrypted. Since normal data packets are still encrypted by the hardware, crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt gets decremented after key upload to hw. This can lead to passing skbs to ccmp_encrypt_skb, which don't have the necessary tailroom for software encryption. Change the code to add tailroom for encrypted management packets, even if crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt is 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
