[PATCH wireless 1/2] wifi: cfg80211: don't truncate the merged MBSSID profile length

[Wahid Khan]

cfg80211_parse_mbssid_data() keeps the length of a non-transmitted BSSID
profile in a u8. cfg80211_merge_profile() returns a size_t, and it
concatenates a profile that is split over several Multiple BSSID
elements, so the merged length can be well above 255 even though every
single sub-element is at most 255 bytes long.

The value is then cut to its low 8 bits. A 300 byte profile is handled
as a 44 byte one: the elements after the cut are lost from the generated
non-transmitted BSS, and if the Multiple BSSID-Index element lies past
the cut the BSS is dropped altogether. Any AP in range can send such a
profile.

The multi-link code further down in the same file already uses a signed
size type for the profile length. Do the same here, cfg80211_find_ie()
and cfg80211_gen_new_ie() take a size_t anyway.
