mwifiex: correct channel stat buffer overflows
mwifiex records information about various channels as it receives scan information. It does this by appending to a buffer that was sized to the max number of supported channels on any band, but there are numerous problems: (a) scans can return info from more than one band (e.g., both 2.4 and 5 GHz), so the determined "max" is not large enough (b) some firmware appears to return multiple results for a given channel, so the max *really* isn't large enough (c) there is no bounds checking when stashing these stats, so problems (a) and (b) can easily lead to buffer overflows Let's patch this by setting a slightly-more-correct max (that accounts for a combination of both 2.4G and 5G bands) and adding a bounds check when writing to our statistics buffer. Due to problem (b), we still might not properly report all known survey information (e.g., with "iw <dev> survey dump"), since duplicate results (or otherwise "larger than expected" results) will cause some truncation. But that's a problem for a future bugfix. (And because of this known deficiency, only log the excess at the WARN level, since that isn't visible by default in this driver and would otherwise be a bit too noisy.)
