This fixes a kernel BUG_ON(tn->size == 0) panic in check_node_data
due to integer overflow in read_dnone().

The code incorrectly assigns a uin32_t local variable (csize) to
uint16_t structure member in jffs2_tmp_dnode_info. This results
in an overflow when the local variable csize is greater than
65536 (0x10000)

This issue is seen when kernel PAGE_SIZE is 64K.

The following example illustrates the issue:

fs/jffs2/nodelist.h
  struct jffs2_tmp_dnode_info
  {
    ...
    uint16_t csize;
    ...
  };

fs/jffs2/readinode.c
  static inline int read_dnode(...)
  {
    struct jffs2_tmp_dnode_info *tn;
    uint32_t len, csize;
    ...
    csize = je32_to_cpu(rd->csize);
    ...
    tn->csize = csize;  // <=== result truncated if > 0x10000
    ...
  }

  static int check_node_data(...)
  {
    ...
    BUG_ON(tn->csize == 0);
    ...
  }
