Fix the following out-of-bounds warning by enclosing
some structure members into new struct req:

arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [39, 108] from the object at 'sig' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'beacon_period' with type 'short unsigned int' at offset 36 [-Warray-bounds]

Refactor the code, accordingly:

$ pahole -C wl3501_join_req drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.o
struct wl3501_join_req {
	u16                        next_blk;             /*     0     2 */
	u8                         sig_id;               /*     2     1 */
	u8                         reserved;             /*     3     1 */
	struct iw_mgmt_data_rset   operational_rset;     /*     4    10 */
	u16                        reserved2;            /*    14     2 */
	u16                        timeout;              /*    16     2 */
	u16                        probe_delay;          /*    18     2 */
	u8                         timestamp[8];         /*    20     8 */
	u8                         local_time[8];        /*    28     8 */
	struct {
		u16                beacon_period;        /*    36     2 */
		u16                dtim_period;          /*    38     2 */
		u16                cap_info;             /*    40     2 */
		u8                 bss_type;             /*    42     1 */
		u8                 bssid[6];             /*    43     6 */
		struct iw_mgmt_essid_pset ssid;          /*    49    34 */
		/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 19 bytes ago --- */
		struct iw_mgmt_ds_pset ds_pset;          /*    83     3 */
		struct iw_mgmt_cf_pset cf_pset;          /*    86     8 */
		struct iw_mgmt_ibss_pset ibss_pset;      /*    94     4 */
		struct iw_mgmt_data_rset bss_basic_rset; /*    98    10 */
	} req;                                           /*    36    72 */

	/* size: 108, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
	/* last cacheline: 44 bytes */
};

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
bunch of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to
memcpy(). Now that a new struct _req_ enclosing all those adjacent
members is introduced, memcpy() doesn't overrun the length of
&sig.beacon_period, because the address of the new struct object
_req_ is used as the destination, instead.

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and
avoid confusing the compiler.
