jffs2: validate symlink size in jffs2_do_read_inode_internal()
`csize' is read from disk and thus needs validation. Otherwise a bogus value 0xffffffff would turn the subsequent kmalloc(csize + 1, ...) into kmalloc(0, ...), leading to out-of-bounds write. This patch limits `csize' to JFFS2_MAX_NAME_LEN, which is also used in jffs2_symlink(). Artem: we actually validate csize by checking CRC, so this 0xFFs cannot come from empty flash region. But I guess an attacker could feed JFFS2 an image with random csize value, including 0xFFs.
