[PATCH v2 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB write in HT_caps_handler()

[Alexandru Hossu <hossu.alexandru@gmail.com>]

HT_caps_handler() iterates pIE->length bytes and writes into
HT_caps.u.HT_cap[], which is a fixed 26-byte array (sizeof struct
HT_caps_element). Because pIE->length is a raw u8 from an over-the-air
802.11 AssocResponse frame and is never validated, a malicious AP can set
it up to 255, causing up to 229 bytes of out-of-bounds writes into
adjacent fields of struct mlme_ext_info.

Truncate the iteration count to the size of HT_caps.u.HT_cap using
min_t() so that data from a longer-than-expected IE is silently ignored
rather than written out of bounds, preserving interoperability with APs
that pad the element.
