Subject: mwifiex: fix memory corruption when unsetting multicast list

From: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org>

commit 6390d88529835a8ad3563fe01a5da89fa52d6db2 upstream.

When trying to unset a previously-set multicast list (i.e. the new list
has 0 entries), mwifiex_set_multicast_list() was calling down to
mwifiex_request_set_multicast_list() while leaving
mcast_list.num_multicast_addr as an uninitialized value.

We were arriving at mwifiex_cmd_mac_multicast_adr() which would then
proceed to do an often huge memcpy of
mcast_list.num_multicast_addr*ETH_ALEN bytes, causing memory corruption
and hard to debug crashes.

Fix this by setting mcast_list.num_multicast_addr to 0 when no multicast
list is provided. Similarly, fix up the logic in
mwifiex_request_set_multicast_list() to unset the multicast list that
was previously sent to the hardware in such cases.
