[PATCH] wifi: libertas: fix integer underflow in process_cmdrequest()

The existing validation only checks if recvlength exceeds
LBS_CMD_BUFFER_SIZE, but doesn't check the lower bound. When a
USB device sends a response shorter than MESSAGE_HEADER_LEN, the
subtraction (recvlength - MESSAGE_HEADER_LEN) wraps to a huge
value, causing memcpy to corrupt the heap.
Add the same lower bound check that libertas_tf already has.
