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

===============

commit 31b9cc9a873dcab161999622314f98a75d838975 upstream.

Jason noticed that with Yocto GCC 4.8.1 ath6kl crashes with this iperf command:

iperf -c $TARGET_IP -i 5 -t 50 -w 1M

The crash was:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 1a480000
pgd = 80004000

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

Jason's analysis:

"The GCC 4.8.1 compiler will not do the for-loop till scat_entries, instead,
it only run one round loop. This may be caused by that the GCC 4.8.1 thought
that the scat_list only have one item and then no need to do full iteration,
but this is simply wrong by looking at the assebly code. This will cause the sg
buffer not get set when scat_entries > 1 and thus lead to kernel panic.

Note: This issue not observed with GCC 4.7.2, only found on the GCC 4.8.1)"

Fix this by using the normal [0] style for defining unknown number of list
entries following the struct. This also fixes corruption with scat_q_depth, which
was mistankely added to the end of struct and overwritten if there were more
than item in the scat list.
