net/mac80211: Correct size given to memset

Memset should be given the size of the structure, not the size of the pointer. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; T *x; expression E; @@ memset(x, E, sizeof( + * x)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: John W.
