[PATCH 1/3] wifi: mt76: mt7921: validate NIC capability payload lengths

The NIC capability parser checks that each declared payload fits in the
skb, but it does not ensure that the payload is large enough for the
selected capability. A truncated firmware response can therefore make
the driver read beyond the current TLV while copying fixed-size fields or
parsing capability structures.

Validate every consumed payload before accessing it and reject the
response when a known capability is shorter than its fixed data.
