Summary
wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wil_write_file_wmi()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wilwritefile_wmi()

The simplewritetobuffer() function will succeed if even a single byte is initialized. However, we need to initialize the whole buffer to prevent information leaks. Just use memdupuser().
