[WIRELESS] WEXT: Fix userspace corruption on 64-bit.
On 64-bit systems sizeof(struct ifreq) is 8 bytes larger than sizeof(struct iwreq). For GET calls, the wireless extension code copies back into userspace using sizeof(struct ifreq) but userspace and elsewhere only allocates a "struct iwreq". Thus, this copy writes past the end of the iwreq object and corrupts whatever sits after it in memory. Fix the copy_to_user() length. This particularly hurts the compat case because the wireless compat code uses compat_alloc_userspace() and right after this allocated buffer is the current bottom of the user stack, and that's what gets overwritten by the copy_to_user() call.
