wifi: airo: Avoid clashing function prototypes

When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between
caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible
at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1].

Fix a total of 32 warnings like these:

../drivers/net/wireless/cisco/airo.c:7570:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, void *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
        (iw_handler) airo_config_commit,        /* SIOCSIWCOMMIT */
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The airo Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a
union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences
before/after changes.

These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of
Coccinelle.
