wifi: mac80211_hwsim: drop short frames
[ Upstream commit fba360a047d5eeeb9d4b7c3a9b1c8308980ce9a6 ]
While technically some control frames like ACK are shorter and
end after Address 1, such frames shouldn't be forwarded through
wmediumd or similar userspace, so require the full 3-address
header to avoid accessing invalid memory if shorter frames are
passed in.
