Bugzilla: 757944
Brew: <https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=5738553>
Upstream Status: 0d61c9177cb9bf48dcec9c3d9205a309085d4318
Tested: By me. Acceptable. See BZ for details

Dynamically allocate the probe response template which
avoids potential stack corruption. Observed with smatch:

drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/main.c:7412 brcms_c_bss_update_probe_resp()
 warn: 'prb_resp' puts 512 bytes on stack
