Zhao Li 4a0bd262df wifi: mac80211: fix per-STA profile length in cross-link CSA parsing
ieee80211_mgd_check_cross_link_csa() starts parsing elements after the
fixed per-STA profile header and the STA Info field, but subtracts only
the STA Info length from the profile length. As a result,
ieee802_11_parse_elems() is given sizeof(*prof) == 3 bytes beyond the
current profile's element area, and data following the profile may be
interpreted as belonging to it.

Subtract the fixed profile header as well. The preceding
ieee80211_mle_basic_sta_prof_size_ok() check guarantees that the
corrected calculation cannot underflow, and
ieee80211_rx_uhr_link_reconfig_req() uses the same calculation.

The call site currently states that cross-link CSA parsing has no effect
because the broader parsing is still incorrect. This patch does not
address that broader problem; it only makes the per-STA profile parser
stop at the end of that profile. No production allocation over-read or
user-visible failure has been demonstrated.
