KMSAN reported an uninitialized-value access in
ieee802154_hdr_push_sechdr(). This happened because
mac802154_set_header_security() allowed frames with cb->secen=1 but
LLSEC disabled when secen_override=0, leaving parts of the security
header uninitialized.
Fix the validation so security-enabled frames are rejected whenever
LLSEC is disabled, regardless of secen_override. Also clear the full
header struct in the header creation functions to avoid partial
initialization.
