syzbot reported an out-of-bounds read when passing certain malformed messages into nl80211. The specific place where this happened isn't interesting, the problem is that nested policy parsing was referring to the wrong maximum attribute and thus the policy wasn't long enough. Fix this by referring to the correct attribute. Since this is really not necessary, I'll come up with a separate patch to just pass the policy instead of both, in the common case we can infer the maxattr from the size of the policy array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
