Subject: [PATCH 4.14] mac80211: fix memory corruption in EAPOL handling

Commit 557bb37533a3 ("mac80211: do not accept/forward invalid EAPOL
frames") uses skb_mac_header() before eth_type_trans() is called
leading to incorrect pointer, the pointer gets written to. This issue
has appeared during backporting to 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14.

Fixes: 557bb37533a3 ("mac80211: do not accept/forward invalid EAPOL frames")
