Sorry I should have provided more backstory. The original problem that
started this was I was seeing some segfaults and when I debugged it,
it was eap_notify_lower_layer_success() when eapol_get_bool() would
dereference the eapol_cb in the eap_sm (I can produce a coredump
and/or stack trace if you're interested).
