mt76: use a separate CCMP PN receive counter for management frames

Browse source

When received frame is decryped by hardware, CCMP PN is checked by
mt76.

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, we must use
a separate counter for tracking received CCMP packet number for the
management frames. The previously used counter was shared with data
frames and that can cause problems in detecting replays incorrectly
for robust management frames.

Add a new counter just for robust management frames to avoid this
issue.
