net80211: correct length check in ieee80211_ies_expand()
In ieee80211_ies_expand() we are looping over Elements
(also known as Information Elements or IEs).
The comment suggests that we assume well-formedness of
the IEs themselves.
Checking the buffer length being least 2 (1 byte Element ID and
1 byte Length fields) rather than just 1 before accessing ie[1]
is still good practise and can prevent and out-of-bounds read in
case the input is not behaving according to the comment.
