ath10k: Validate first subframe of A-MSDU before processing the list


stable inclusion
from linux-4.19.193
commit d0d46edbe05747b8523fd41db76f0cb02976ec8d

--------------------------------

commit 62a8ff67eba52dae9b107e1fb8827054ed00a265 upstream.

In certain scenarios a normal MSDU can be received as an A-MSDU when
the A-MSDU present bit of a QoS header gets flipped during reception.
Since this bit is unauthenticated, the hardware crypto engine can pass
the frame to the driver without any error indication.

This could result in processing unintended subframes collected in the
A-MSDU list. Hence, validate A-MSDU list by checking if the first frame
has a valid subframe header.

Comparing the non-aggregated MSDU and an A-MSDU, the fields of the first
subframe DA matches the LLC/SNAP header fields of a normal MSDU.
In order to avoid processing such frames, add a validation to
filter such A-MSDU frames where the first subframe header DA matches
with the LLC/SNAP header pattern.
