wifi: wilc1000: validate assoc response length before subtracting header

wilc_parse_assoc_resp_info() computes the trailing IE length as

	ies_len = buffer_len - sizeof(*res);

without first checking that buffer_len is at least sizeof(struct
wilc_assoc_resp) (6 bytes). buffer_len is the length reported for a
received association response (host_int_parse_assoc_resp_info() passes
hif_drv->assoc_resp / assoc_resp_info_len straight in) and must be
validated before the driver accesses the fixed header.

For a frame shorter than the 6-byte fixed header, the subtraction wraps.
For a four-byte response the result is truncated to a u16 ies_len of
65534, so kmemdup() then attempts to copy 65534 bytes starting at
buffer + sizeof(*res), beyond the valid association-response data
(CWE-125). A response shorter than four bytes can also cause an
out-of-bounds read of res->status_code at offsets 2 and 3.

Reject frames too short to hold the fixed header before touching the
header or computing ies_len. Also set the connection status to a failure
on this path: the caller falls through to a
"conn_info->status == WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS" check after the parser
returns, so leaving the status untouched could let a malformed short
response be treated as a successful association.
