Fix the following out-of-bounds warnings by enclosing structure members
daddr and saddr into new struct addr, in structures wl3501_md_req and
wl3501_md_ind:

Refactor the code, accordingly:

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
couple of arrays adjacent to each other in a single call to memcpy().
Now that a new struct _addr_ enclosing those two adjacent arrays
is introduced, memcpy() doesn't overrun the length of &sig.daddr[0]
and &sig.daddr, because the address of the new struct object _addr_
is used, instead.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().
