In nl80211_parse_key(), key.idx is first initialized as -1. 
If this value of key.idx remains unmodified and gets returned, and
nl80211_key_allowed() also returns 0, then rdev_del_key() gets called 
with key.idx = -1.
This causes an out-of-bounds array access.

Handle this issue by checking if the value of key.idx after
nl80211_parse_key() is called and return -EINVAL if key.idx < 0.
