[PATCH 6.1 252/312] vxlan: validate ND option lengths in vxlan_na_create

From: Yang Yang <n05ec@lzu.edu.cn>

commit afa9a05e6c4971bd5586f1b304e14d61fb3d9385 upstream.

vxlan_na_create() walks ND options according to option-provided
lengths. A malformed option can make the parser advance beyond the
computed option span or use a too-short source LLADDR option payload.

Validate option lengths against the remaining NS option area before
advancing, and only read source LLADDR when the option is large enough
for an Ethernet address.
