ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb internally checks that the skb is long enough to hold the full header, or it returns 0 if not. The check in ath5k does not check this case and assumes it always got the actual header length which it then checks against the skb->len plus some headroom. Change to ieee80211_hdrlen which always returns the hdrlen and keep the existing headroom check.
