Subject: [PATCH 3.16 098/192] cfg80211: Define nla_policy for
 NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Srinivas Dasari <dasaris@....qualcomm.com>

commit 8feb69c7bd89513be80eb19198d48f154b254021 upstream.

Buffer overread may happen as nl80211_set_station() reads 4 bytes
from the attribute NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE without
validating the size of data received when userspace sends less
than 4 bytes of data with NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE.
Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE to avoid
the buffer overread.
