The memcpy() in ath_key_config() was attempting to write across
neighboring struct members in struct ath_keyval. Introduce a wrapping
struct_group, kv_values, to be the addressable target of the memcpy
without overflowing an individual member. Silences the false positive
run-time warning:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field "hk.kv_val" at drivers/net/wireless/ath/key.c:506 (size 16)
