Limit assoclist element to IWINFO_BUFSIZE. This is to fix a segfault if the clients are more than 140. Once the local buffer is filled, the function stop parsing additional clients and returns info for the parsed ones. Fixes: openwrt#15 Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
Make assoclist OP aware of the max allocated buffer. This is done by setting the third arg to the max allocated buffer. Function needs to use this info to stop parsing data if the max allocated buffer size is reached. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
Update any assoclist user to account for NULL buf. This is common practice where a NULL buf is passed if only the len element needs to be filled. This is useful to know how much space allocate for a function. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
Change print_assoclist to dynamically allocate buffer for assoclist. Assoclist is called 2 times, one to get the size of the buffer to allocate by passint to assoclist a NULL buf. Then a second time to actually fill the data. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com>

This small PR makes generic improvement of assoclist handling.
Idea is to prevent any API change. User still needs to update their function to account for NULL buffer and len but updates likes that will only improve a fragile code.
This improves the assoc list and maybe also reduce the memory footprint. Allocating a big enough BUFFER is problematic for assoclist as it can grow a lot as it will contain info for every associated station.
To handle this, implement common practice way to get the number of element to alloc and dynamically alloc the space.
To apply this logic assoc list function needs to be called twice but this should not cause additional overhead.
