nl80211: fix OBSS PD min and max offset validation
[ Upstream commit 6c8b6e4a5f745ec49286ac0a3f1d591a34818f82 ]
The SRG min and max offset won't present when SRG Information Present of
SR control field of Spatial Reuse Parameter Set element set to 0. Per
spec. IEEE802.11ax D7.0, SRG OBSS PD Min Offset â?¤ SRG OBSS PD Max
Offset. Hence fix the constrain check to allow same values in both
offset and also call appropriate nla_get function to read the values.
