If beacon protection is active but the beacon cannot be
decrypted or is otherwise malformed, we call the cfg80211
API to report this to userspace, but that uses a netdev
pointer, which isn't present for P2P-Device. Fix this to
call it only conditionally to ensure cfg80211 won't crash
in the case of P2P-Device.
This fixes CVE-2022-42722.

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.
