[PATCH] wifi: libertas_tf: validate firmware block extents

check_fwfile_format() reads each block header and trusts its data length
before proving that both fit in the firmware image. A truncated header or
oversized block can therefore pass malformed extents to the download path.

Require the remaining image to contain the complete header and payload
before accepting each block.
