Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Recast pointer for trailing memcpy()

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring array fields.

Give memcpy() a specific source pointer type so it can correctly
calculate the bounds of the copy.
