#2050: Save memory on vap ptrtable malloc

While reading the source of if_ath.c, I've stumpled across a wrong malloc.
{{{
- kzalloc(ath_maxvaps * sizeof(struct ieee80211vap),
GFP_KERNEL);
+ kzalloc(ath_maxvaps * sizeof(struct ieee80211vap*),
GFP_KERNEL);
}}}
As a side note: Is it really helpful to have two pointers to the same data
everywhere? Why not use a simple type cast instead of the ubiquitous "avp
= dev->priv; vap = &avp->av_vap;"...
