Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 07/98] mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation

4.2.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Chris Bainbridge <chris.bainbridge@...il.com>

commit f39ea2690bd61efec97622c48323f40ed6e16317 upstream.

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc for struct tid_ampdu_rx to
initialize the "removed" field (all others are initialized
manually). That fixes:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in net/mac80211/rx.c:932:29

While at it, convert to use sizeof(*tid_agg_rx) instead.
