3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho at intel.com>

commit f89f46cf3a23d8d7c98f924a461fd931e1331746 upstream.

If the userspace passes a malformed sched scan request (or a net
detect wowlan configuration) by adding a NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MATCH
attribute without any nested matchsets, a NULL pointer dereference
will occur.  Fix this by checking that we do have matchsets in our
array before trying to access it.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000024
