From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit b9c5e272062708680d47df433bfbfe5299ad1a63 ]

rtw_read32() reads data from device via USB API which may fail. In case
of any failure previous code returned stack data to callers, which is
wrong.

Fix it by changing rtw_read32() prototype and prevent caller from
touching random stack data
