[PATCH 5.11 070/210] nl80211: fix beacon head validation

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

commit 9a6847ba1747858ccac53c5aba3e25c54fbdf846 upstream.

If the beacon head attribute (NL80211_ATTR_BEACON_HEAD)
is too short to even contain the frame control field,
we access uninitialized data beyond the buffer. Fix this
by checking the minimal required size first. We used to
do this until S1G support was added, where the fixed
data portion has a different size.
