rt2x00: Fix double usage of skb->cb in USB RX path.
It is not safe to use the skb->cb area for both the rxd and skb_frame_desc data at the same time, while they occupy an overlapping piece of memory. This can lead to hard to trace crashes as pointers within skb_frame_desc are pointing into nowhere, or the rxd data is overwritten with non-sense. Fix it by copying the rxd to a small buffer on the stack. Signed-off-by: Gertjan van Wingerde <gwingerde@kpnplanet.nl> Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
