brcmfmac: fix end of loop check (signedness bug)
The problem here is that we loop until "remained_buf_len" is less than
zero, but since it is unsigned, it never is.
"remained_buf_len" has to be large enough to hold the value from
"mgmt_ie_buf_len". That variable is type u32, but it only holds small
values so I have changed to both variables to int.
Also I removed the bogus initialization from "mgmt_ie_buf_len" so that
GCC can detect if it is used unitialized. I moved the declaration of
"remained_buf_len" closer to where it is used so it's easier to read.
