wifi: ath9k: fix fortify warnings



[ Upstream commit 810e41ce ]

When compiling with gcc 13.1 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y,
I've noticed the following:

In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
    inlined from ‘ath_tx_complete_aggr’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:556:4,
    inlined from ‘ath_tx_process_buffer’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:773:3:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:529:25: warning: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
  529 |                         __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
    inlined from ‘ath_tx_count_frames’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:473:3,
    inlined from ‘ath_tx_complete_aggr’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:572:2,
    inlined from ‘ath_tx_process_buffer’ at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:773:3:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:529:25: warning: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
  529 |                         __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In both cases, the compiler complains on:

memcpy(ba, &ts->ba_low, WME_BA_BMP_SIZE >> 3);

which is the legal way to copy both 'ba_low' and following 'ba_high'
members of 'struct ath_tx_status' at once (that is, issue one 8-byte
'memcpy()' for two 4-byte fields). Since the fortification logic seems
interprets this trick as an attempt to overread 4-byte 'ba_low', silence
relevant warnings by using the convenient 'struct_group()' quirk.
