From: Aleksei Vetrov <vvvvvv@google.com>

The channels array in the cfg80211_scan_request has a __counted_by
attribute attached to it, which points to the n_channels variable. This
attribute is used in bounds checking, and if it is not set before the
array is filled, then the bounds sanitizer will issue a warning or a
kernel panic if CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP is set.

This patch sets the size of allocated memory as the initial value for
n_channels. It is updated with the actual number of added elements after
the array is filled.

This should include the following tag (and probably CC stable):

Fixes: aa4ec06c455d ("wifi: cfg80211: use __counted_by where appropriate")
