GAS server: Fix request frame length validation (CID 68098)

Browse source 
There seemed to be an off-by-one error in the validation of GAS request
frames. If a Public Action frame without the Action code field would
have reached this function, the length could have been passed as
(size_t) -1 which would likely have resulted in a crash due to reading
beyond the buffer. However, it looks like such frame would not be
delivered to hostapd at least with mac80211-based drivers. Anyway, this
function better be more careful with length validation should some other
driver end up reporting invalid Action frames.

In addition, the Action code field is in a fixed location, so the
IEEE80211_HDRLEN can be used here to clean up bounds checking to avoid
false reports from static analyzer.
