wifi: ath9k: avoid referencing uninit memory in ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx
For the reasons also described in commit b383e8a ("wifi: ath9k: avoid
uninit memory read in ath9k_htc_rx_msg()"), ath9k_htc_rx_msg() should
validate pkt_len before accessing the SKB.
For example, the obtained SKB may have been badly constructed with
pkt_len = 8. In this case, the SKB can only contain a valid htc_frame_hdr
but after being processed in ath9k_htc_rx_msg() and passed to
ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() endpoint RX handler, it is expected to have a WMI
command header which should be located inside its data payload.
Implement sanity checking inside ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx(). Otherwise, uninit
memory can be referenced.
Tested on Qualcomm Atheros Communications AR9271 802.11n .
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
Fixes: fb9987d ("ath9k_htc: Support for AR9271 chipset.")
