Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.5 16/45] wifi: ath12k: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in ath12k_mac_op_hw_scan()

From: Wen Gong <quic_wgong@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 8ad314da54c6dd223a6b6cc85019160aa842f659 ]

In ath12k_mac_op_hw_scan(), the return value of kzalloc() is directly
used in memcpy(), which may lead to a NULL pointer dereference on
failure of kzalloc().

Fix this bug by adding a check of arg.extraie.ptr.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
