[PATCH] fix double fetch in wmi_ioctl.

[PATCH] fix double fetch in wmi_ioctl.

[JingYi Hou]

There is a double fetch problem in function wmi_ioctl.
After second fetch overwrite the length to avoid this.
buf->length is not used now,but it may in the future.
It is good to get it fixed up.

So, there is no issue right now.
Patch is not needed then.

Thanks!
