[PATCH 3.18 49/84] mac80211: avoid using uninitialized stack data

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7e6225a1604d0c6aa4140289bf5761868ffc9c83 upstream.

Avoid a case where we would access uninitialized stack data if the AP
advertises HT support without 40MHz channel support.

Fixes: f3000e1b43f1 ("mac80211: fix broken use of VHT/20Mhz with some APs")
