wifi: mac80211: ieee80211_i: Fix memory corruption bug in struct ieee…
…80211_chanctx Move the `struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf conf` to the end of `struct ieee80211_chanctx` and fix a memory corruption bug triggered e.g. in `hwsim_set_chanctx_magic()`: `radar_detected` is being overwritten when `cp->magic = HWSIM_CHANCTX_MAGIC;` See the function call sequence below: drv_add_chanctx(... struct ieee80211_chanctx *ctx) -> local->ops->add_chanctx(&local->hw, &ctx->conf) -> mac80211_hwsim_add_chanctx(... struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf *ctx) -> hwsim_set_chanctx_magic(ctx) This also happens in a number of other drivers. Also, add a code comment to try to prevent people from introducing new members after `struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf conf`. Notice that `struct ieee80211_chanctx_conf` is a flexible structure --a structure that contains a flexible-array member, so it should always be at the end of any other containing structures. This change also fixes 50 of the following warnings: net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h:895:39: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it, globally.
