Smatch complains that "wcidx" value comes from the network and thus
cannot be trusted. In this case, it actually seems to come from the
firmware. If your wireless firmware is malicious then probably no
amount of carefulness can protect you.
On the other hand, these days we still try to check the firmware as much
as possible. Verifying that the index is within bounds will silence a
static checker warning. And it's harmless and a good exercise in kernel
hardening. So I suggest that we do add a bounds check.

v2: Fix a typos in commit message.
Normally for networking patches, when we change the declaration block,
we must update the order to make sure it's in reverse Christmas tree
format. This code wasn't strictly in reverse Christmas tree order
originally because we needed to initialize "wcidx" before we could
initialize "wcid" etc. Re-ordering the initializers makes the diff
slightly larger than people might expect but it's a required part of
networking patches.
