wext: fix alignment problem in serializing 'struct iw_point'

wext: fix alignment problem in serializing 'struct iw_point'

This fixes a typo in the definition of the serialized length of struct iw_point:
 a) wireless.h is exported to userspace, the typo causes IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN
    to be 12 on 64-bit, and 8 on 32-bit systems (causing misalignment);
 b) in compat-64 mode iwe_stream_add_point() memcpys overlap (see below).

The second case in  in compat-64 mode looks like (variable names are as in
include/net/iw_handler.h:iwe_stream_add_point()):

 point_len = IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN = 8
 lcp_len   = IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN   = 4
 2nd memcpy: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 12 - 4 = 8

 IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN
 <-------------->                *---> 'extra' data area
 +-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+------- ...-+
 | len   | cmd   |length | flags |  (empty) -> extra      ... |
 +-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+------- ...-+

 <--1st memcpy--><------- 2nd memcpy ----------->
                                 <---- 3rd memcpy ------- ... >
 <--------- point_len ---------->

This case could cause overrun whenever iw_point.length < 4.
The other two cases are -
 * 32-bit systems: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN =  8 - 4 = 4,
   the second memcpy copies exactly the 4 required bytes;
 * 64-bit systems: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 12 - 4 = 8,
   the second memcpy copies a superfluous (but non overlapping) 4 bytes.

The patch changes IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN to be 8, so that in all 3 cases always only
the requested iw_point.{length,flags} (both __u16) are copied, avoiding overrrun
(compat-64) and superfluous copy (64-bit). In addition, the userspace header is
sanitized (in agreement with version 30 of the wireless tools).

1. Rate control feedback is carried on the first frame of an aggregate
that is either ACKed, or has execeeded the software retry count and is
considered failed. However, ath9k would incorrectly assume the aggregate
had the length 1 if one of these conditions did not apply to the first
frame of the aggregate, but instead a later frame. This fix therefor
copies the bf_nframes field of the buffer in the same manner as the rates
field of the tx status.

2. Sometimes the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields of the tx status was
left uninitialized eventhough the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag was set.
This is now avoid by setting flag and fields in the same place.

3. Even if a frame has been selected for aggregation by mac80211 and
marked with the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag it can sometimes happen that
ath9k transmits the frame without aggregation. In these cases the

Luckily, the hardware specification confirmed that

1. This will break backwards compatibility with existing Linux kernels as
over-the-air constants have changed.
2. Some old and obsolete constants have been retained for now as the mesh code
itself hasn't been updated yet to the new 802.11s draft. This was desired to

shape, scan only finish after scan_check work (about 7s). So we will
