  The routing check for management frames is validating the source mac
address in the outer ethernet header. It rejects every source mac address
which is a broadcast address. But it also has to reject the zero-mac
address and multicast mac addresses.

v2:
 - clarify in commit message that only the outer ethernet header is
   affected
   (thanks Linus)
 - split in patch 1/2
