[PATCH 3/3] staging: wilc1000: Reduce scope for a few variables in mac_ioctl()

Three local variables were used only within a single case branch.

* Thus move the data type definition for "rssi" and "size" into the
corresponding code block.

* The variable "length" was not modified after its initialisation.
Thus pass a constant value in the affected function call instead.
