David S. Miller 0a06ea8718 [WIRELESS] WEXT: Fix userspace corruption on 64-bit.
On 64-bit systems sizeof(struct ifreq) is 8 bytes larger than
sizeof(struct iwreq).

For GET calls, the wireless extension code copies back into userspace
using sizeof(struct ifreq) but userspace and elsewhere only allocates
a "struct iwreq".  Thus, this copy writes past the end of the iwreq
object and corrupts whatever sits after it in memory.

Fix the copy_to_user() length.

This particularly hurts the compat case because the wireless compat
code uses compat_alloc_userspace() and right after this allocated
buffer is the current bottom of the user stack, and that's what gets
overwritten by the copy_to_user() call.
