Looking at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=1a3986bbd3169c307819
and running reproducer with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, I've noticed the
following:

[ T4985] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/wireless/scan.c:3479:25
[ T4985] index 164 is out of range for type 'struct ieee80211_channel *[]'
<...skipped...>
[ T4985] Call Trace:
[ T4985]  <TASK>
[ T4985]  dump_stack_lvl+0x1c2/0x2a0
[ T4985]  ? __pfx_dump_stack_lvl+0x10/0x10
[ T4985]  ? __pfx__printk+0x10/0x10
[ T4985]  __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0x127/0x150
[ T4985]  cfg80211_wext_siwscan+0x11a4/0x1260
<...the rest is not too useful...>

Even if we do 'creq->n_channels = n_channels' before 'creq->ssids =
(void *)&creq->channels[n_channels]', UBSAN treats the latter as
off-by-one error. Fix this by using pointer arithmetic rather than
an expression with explicit array indexing and use convenient
'struct_size()' to simplify the math here and in 'kzalloc()' above.
