[PATCH] libertas: fix data packet size errors

I wondered about junk bytes at the end when using "lbsdebug +hex
+host" until I noticed that firmware for the CF card sends my
extranous bytes. It says "I have 20 bytes", I take 20 bytes, but
the last 8 bytes of this are just data junk.

Also, in the new lbs_cmd() where was a size miscalulation
that made itself clear after fixing this bug.

---
The length the low-level-driver (usb, cf, sdio)
if_XXX_receive_cmdres() reports back via *len ends up
in "priv->upld_len". upld_len is only used in debugging
statements, all code was looking at the "__le16 size" field
anyway.

We might as well remove "priv->upld_len" completely.
