[PATCH 5.3 086/148] cfg80211: validate SSID/MBSSID element ordering assumption

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 242b0931c1918c56cd1dc5563fd250a3c39b996d upstream.

The code copying the data assumes that the SSID element is
before the MBSSID element, but since the data is untrusted
from the AP, this cannot be guaranteed.

Validate that this is indeed the case and ignore the MBSSID
otherwise, to avoid having to deal with both cases for the
copy of data that should be between them.
