In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Use memset_after() so memset() doesn't get confused about writing
beyond the destination member that is intended to be the starting point
of zeroing through the end of the struct.

Additionally fix the common helper, ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status(),
which was not clearing ack_signal, but the open-coded versions
did. Johannes Berg points out this bug was introduced by commit
e3e1a0bcb3f1 ("mac80211: reduce IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES") but was harmless.

Also drops the associated unneeded BUILD_BUG_ON()s, and adds a note to
carl9170 about usage.

Since you insist, I went digging :)

It should not, carl9170_tx_fill_rateinfo() has filled the rate
information before we get to this point.
