[PATCH] mac80211: fix GCC warning on 64bit platforms

net/mac80211/ieee80211.c: In function ieee80211_register_hw:
net/mac80211/ieee80211.c:4989: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

Fix by casting from size_t to unsigned as size of ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr
structure will never be greater than that.

This request is based off net-2.6, as it requires a patch that is in
net-2.6 but not yet in Linus' tree (b3d88ad49a0623d09efcf998beb26288c8029f75).
