[PATCH v2 2/2] wifi: mwifiex: Annotate mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params with __counted_by()

[Alper Nebi Yasak]

Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
`ssid` to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

I've mimicked the commit messages from `git log -S"__counted_by("`.
Since they refer to UBSAN I tried testing with CONFIG_KASAN (w/
kasan_multi_shot), CONFIG_UBSAN and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. I do not
get any errors relating to this module with those options, but have
others -- I even had to test on another board altogether.

This attribute was suggested in reviews, I don't fully understand it,
but I am not sure it is correct in the context of this comment from
scan.c (with irrelelvant parts omitted):

    ssid_len = user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid_len;

    wildcard_ssid_tlv =
            (struct mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params *)
            tlv_pos;

    /*
     * max_ssid_length = 0 tells firmware to perform
     * specific scan for the SSID filled, whereas
     * max_ssid_length = IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN is for
     * wildcard scan.
     */
    if (ssid_len)
            wildcard_ssid_tlv->max_ssid_length = 0;
    else
            wildcard_ssid_tlv->max_ssid_length =
                                    IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN;

    memcpy(wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid,
           user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid, ssid_len);

I expect we want to use __counted_by(ssid_len) instead, but do not have
it in the struct. And max_ssid_length = 0 when ssid[] is non-empty, so
is it really appropriate as the __counted_by()? But then again, I
couldn't get this to produce a warning.

Changes in v2:
- Add patch to annotate ssid field with __counted_by(max_ssid_length)
