In the first alteration, the MAX_CNTL_PKT_SIZE is the maximum size of the control packet in ->Adapter->txctlpacket[] which is defined in InitAdapter(). This caps the size of kmalloc memory allocation. In the second change, this max cap fixes a potential memory corruption bug when subsequent memset and memcpy calls are invoked.
