[PATCH wpan] mac802154: fix uninit-value issue in ieee802154_header_create()

From: Nikita Zhandarovich

Syzkaller with KMSAN reported [1] a problem with uninitialized value
access in ieee802154_header_create().

The issue arises from a weird combination of cb->secen == 1 and
cb->secen_override == 0, while other required security parameters
are not found enabled in mac802154_set_header_security().

Ideally such case is expected to be caught by starting check at the
beginning of mac802154_set_header_security():

if (!params.enabled && cb->secen_override && cb->secen)
return -EINVAL;

However, since secen_override is zero, the function in question
passes this check and returns with success early, without having
set values to ieee802154_sechdr fields such as key_id_mode. This in
turn leads to uninitialized access of such values in
ieee802154_hdr_push_sechdr() and other places.

Fix this problem by only checking for secen value and presence of
security parameters (and ignoring secen_override). Exit early with
error if necessary requirements are not met.
