[PATCH v3 2/3] wifi: wcn36xx: fix OOB read from firmware count in PRINT_REG_INFO indication

From: Tristan Madani <tristan at talencesecurity.com>
The firmware-controlled rsp->count field is used as the loop bound for
indexing into the flexible rsp->regs[] array without validation against
the message length. A count exceeding the actual data causes out-of-
bounds reads from the heap-allocated message buffer.
Add a check that count fits within the received message.
Fixes: 43efa3c0f241 ("wcn36xx: Implement print_reg indication")

Changes in v3:
- Regenerated from wireless-next with proper git format-patch to
produce valid index hashes (v2 had post-processed index lines).
Changes in v2:
- No code changes from v1.
