LinuxKPI: 802.11: force update of net80211 crypto key flags

Several drivers (rtw8x, mt76) do not announce the supported ciphers suites
in the wiphy instance.  This means we never populate net80211 ic_cryptocaps
on device creation and thus not announcing any supported hw crypto
offload forcing a fallback to software crypto.

However when the mac80211 (*set_key) succeeds we know we can offload
crypto.  At that point the net80211 key flags have IEEE80211_KEY_SWCRYPT
set which we want to clear.  Historically the net80211 API does not
allow this though there should be no ill side effects (base on a
quick code inspection).  We thus have to DECONST the key argument
for now.  It is expected that with MFP support this will need to
become a common operation and the API will need to change as we
will only get the information of some details from the driver on a
per-cipher case when the (*set_key) downcall returns.
