#1639590 — [PATCH 4.9 042/103] iwlwifi: mvm: writing zero bytes to debugfs causes a crash

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

commit 251fe09f13bfb54c1ede66ee8bf8ddd0061c4f7c upstream.

This is a static analysis fix.  The warning is:

	drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/fw-dbg.c:912 iwl_mvm_fw_dbg_collect()
	warn: integer overflows 'sizeof(*desc) + len'

I guess this code is supposed to take a NUL character, but if we write
zero bytes then it tries to write -1 characters and crashes.

Fixes: c91b865cb14d ("iwlwifi: mvm: support description for user triggered fw dbg collection")
