I found the bug using a custome USBFuzz port. It's a research work
to fuzz USB stack/drivers. I modified it to fuzz ath9k driver only,
providing hand-crafted usb descriptors to QEMU.

After fixing the value of pkt_tag to ATH_USB_RX_STREAM_MODE_TAG in QEMU
emulation, I found the KASAN report. The bug is triggerable whenever
pkt_len is above two MAX_RX_BUG_SIZE. I used the same input that crashes
to test the driver works when applying the patch.
