wifi: ath12k: Fix memory corruption during MLO multicast tx

Browse Source 
The struct sk_buff's control buffer is shared by mac80211's struct
ieee80211_tx_info and ath12k's struct ath12k_skb_cb. When the driver wants
to transmit an skb, it caches all the mac80211-specific information from
struct ieee80211_tx_info, then performs a memset on the control buffer
before writing the ath12k-specific information using struct ath12k_skb_cb.
However, during multicast tx, the key is being filled into the driver data,
which overwrites some crucial members like link_id and flags in struct
ath12k_skb_cb. This causes invalid information retrieval when the driver
accesses these fields during ath12k_dp_tx(). Fix this issue by removing
the key filling logic during MLO multicast tx, as it is not used anywhere
in the tx path.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00199-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
