Subject: [PATCH v2] ar5523: check NULL before memcpy() in ar5523_cmd()

memcpy() call with "idata == NULL && ilen == 0" results in undefined
behavior in ar5523_cmd(). For example, NULL is passed in callchain
"ar5523_stat_work() -> ar5523_cmd_write() -> ar5523_cmd()". This patch
adds ilen check before memcpy() call in ar5523_cmd() to prevent an
undefined behavior.

V2: check ilen instead of idata as suggested by David Laight.
