Johannes Berg c033a38a81 mac80211: fix radiotap header generation 
In commit 8c89f7b3d3 ("mac80211: Use flex-array for radiotap header
bitmap") we accidentally pointed the position to the wrong place, so
we overwrite a present bitmap, and thus cause all kinds of trouble.

To see the issue, note that the previous code read:

  pos = (void *)(it_present + 1);

The requirement now is that we need to calculate pos via it_optional,
to not trigger the compiler hardening checks, as:

  pos = (void *)&rthdr->it_optional[...];

Rewriting the original expression, we get (obviously, since that just
adds "+ x - x" terms):

  pos = (void *)(it_present + 1 + rthdr->it_optional - rthdr->it_optional)

and moving the "+ rthdr->it_optional" outside to be used as an array:

  pos = (void *)&rthdr->it_optional[it_present + 1 - rthdr->it_optional];

The original is off by one, fix it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
