KVM: arm64: Fix bounds checking in do_ffa_mem_reclaim()

This commit addresses a potential out-of-bounds access by splitting the FF-A
descriptor length validation into two steps. It ensures that both the fixed
portion and the variable array size (addr_range_cnt) fit within the
descriptor length.

[Severity: Low]
Does this error path trigger an unbalanced double-release of the FF-A RX
buffer?

Looking just above this new block, the EL2 RX buffer has already been
released prior to the loop and at the end of every fragment iteration:

	for (fragoff = fraglen; fragoff < len; fragoff += fraglen) {
		...
		memcpy((void *)buf + fragoff, hyp_buffers.rx, fraglen);
		ffa_rx_release(res);
	}

If the newly added bounds check fails here, calling ffa_rx_release() again
appears to issue a spurious FFA_RX_RELEASE SMC call to the SPMD for a buffer
KVM no longer holds. Would it be better to omit the ffa_rx_release() in
this new error path?
