4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit fdf7cb4185b60c68e1a75e61691c4afdc15dea0e upstream.
When a key is reinstalled we can reset the replay counters etc. which can lead to nonce reuse and/or replay detection being impossible, breaking security properties, as described in the "KRACK attacks".
In particular, CVE-2017-13080 applies to GTK rekeying that happened in firmware while the host is in D3, with the second part of the attack being done after the host wakes up. In this case, the wpa_supplicant mitigation isn't sufficient since wpa_supplicant doesn't know the GTK material.
In case this happens, simply silently accept the new key coming from userspace but don't take any action on it since it's the same key; this keeps the PN replay counters intact.
