Syzkaller reports refcount bug as follows:

 </TASK>

Wireless events will be sent on the appropriate channels in
wireless_send_event(). Different wireless events may have different
payload structure and size, so kernel uses **len** and **cmd** field
in struct __compat_iw_event as wireless event common LCP part, uses
**pointer** as a label to mark the position of remaining different part.

Yet the problem is that, **pointer** is a compat_caddr_t type, which may
be smaller than the relative structure at the same position. So during
wireless_send_event() tries to parse the wireless events payload, it may
trigger the memcpy() run-time destination buffer bounds checking when the
relative structure's data is copied to the position marked by **pointer**.

This patch solves it by introducing flexible-array field **ptr_bytes**,
to mark the position of the wireless events remaining part next to
LCP part. What's more, this patch also adds **ptr_len** variable in
wireless_send_event() to improve its maintainability.

Sorry for my typo error, it should be a "buffer overflow false positive" bug
as Kees Cook points out.

I will correct it in my v2 patch.
