Fix the following out-of-bounds warning:
net/wireless/wext-spy.c:178:2: warning: 'memcpy' offset [25, 28] from the object at 'threshold' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'low' with type 'struct iw_quality' at offset 20 [-Warray-bounds]
For the record: while this clearly isn't harmful, there's almost
basically no chance that the stable kernel will ever compile warning-
free with -Warray-bounds, so there's not much point in backporting this
patch.
While the warning is a non-issue, it wasn't clear if it fixes a real bug
or just silences the warning which is why I took it in.
