iwlwifi: mvm: check PN for CCMP/GCMP in the driver As we're working on multi-queue RX, we want to parallelise checking the PN in order to avoid having to serialise the RX processing. It may seem that doing parallel PN checking is insecure, but it turns out to be OK because queue assignment is done based on the data in the frame (IP/TCP) and thus cannot be manipulated by an attacker, since the data is encrypted and must first have been decrypted successfully. There are some corner cases, in particular when the peer starts using fragmentation which redirects the packet to the default queue. However this redirection is remembered (for the STA, per TID) and thus cannot be exploited by an attacker either. Leave checking on the default queue (queue 0) to mac80211, since we get fragmented packets there and those are subject to stricter checks during reassembly.
