When the firmware sends a command response with a length mismatch,
carl9170_cmd_callback() logs the mismatch and calls carl9170_restart()
but then falls through to memcpy(ar->readbuf, buffer + 4, len - 4).
Since len comes from the firmware and can exceed ar->readlen, this
copies more data than the readbuf was allocated for.
Bound the memcpy to min(len - 4, ar->readlen) so that the response
is still completed -- avoiding repeated restarts from queued garbage --
while preventing an overread past the response buffer.
