Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ath5k: explicitly check skb->len

ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb internally checks that the skb is long
enough to hold the full header, or it returns 0 if not. The check in
ath5k does not check this case and assumes it always got the actual
header length which it then checks against the skb->len plus some headroom.

Change to ieee80211_hdrlen which always returns the hdrlen and keep the
existing headroom check.
