[PATCH] ath10k: fix information leak in debugfs

[Venkateswara Naralasetty]

During write to some of debugfs in ath10k, few variables exposing stack
data when process user input. which leads to possible information leak.

This patch fix this issue by initializing buffer and checks
the return valure of 'simple_write_to_buffer'.
