[PATCH 5/8] wifi: mac80211: validate probe response countdown offsets

[Zhao Li]

ieee80211_set_beacon_cntdwn() writes the current countdown value into
each configured counter offset. For the beacon it skips offset 0 as an
unused entry and bounds each non-zero offset against the template length
before writing. The AP probe-response branch reuses the same
counter-offset array but indexes resp->data[] with neither the
zero-sentinel skip nor the length check.

A probe-response template whose countdown offset is 0 or points past
resp->len therefore takes a stray or out-of-bounds write. Apply the same
zero-sentinel and length checks the beacon path uses before writing the
probe-response countdown byte.
