eapol: Drop unexpectedly unencrypted EAP frames

Browse Source 
After the initial handshake, once the TK has been installed, all frames
coming from the AP should be encrypted.  However, it seems that some
kernel/driver combinations allow unencrypted EAPoL frames to be received
and forwarded to userspace.  This can lead to a denial-of-service attack
where receipt of an invalid, unencrypted EAP-Failure frame generated by
an adversary results in iwd terminating an ongoing connection.

Some drivers can report whether the EAPoL frame has been received
unencrypted.  Use this information to drop unencrypted EAP frames
received after the initial handshake has been completed.
