scsi: ufs: bsg: Validate request_len before accessing request
This commit adds validation checks for job->request_len in the UFS
BSG paths to prevent out-of-bounds reads when userspace provides
short requests.

[Severity: High]
While this properly validates the request size, does the reply handling
contain a heap buffer overflow for advanced RPMB requests?
The BSG core allocates job->reply in bsg_init_rq() with a fixed size of
SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE (96 bytes). However, ufs_bsg_exec_advanced_rpmb_req()
casts job->reply to struct ufs_rpmb_reply, which has a size of 104 bytes:
sizeof(struct ufs_bsg_reply) (40 bytes) + sizeof(struct ufs_ehs) (64 bytes).
When ufshcd_advanced_rpmb_req_handler() is called, it writes 64 bytes
to the ehs_rsp field at offset 40, resulting in an 8-byte out-of-bounds
write on the heap:
drivers/ufs/core/ufshcd.c:ufshcd_advanced_rpmb_req_handler() {
...
memcpy(rsp_ehs, ehs_data, ehs_len * 32);
...
}
Later, ufs_bsg_request() sets job->reply_len to 104 for RPMB replies,
which configures the block layer to copy 104 bytes to user space from
this 96-byte allocation. Will this leak adjacent heap memory to userspace?

[Severity: Medium]
Does returning -EINVAL directly bypass the BSG job completion mechanism
and permanently leak the job's resources?
When ufs_bsg_request() returns -EINVAL directly, the block layer's
bsg_queue_rq() returns BLK_STS_IOERR. This causes blk_mq_end_request()
to complete the request without invoking the queue's .complete callback
(bsg_complete()).
Because bsg_complete() is bypassed, bsg_job_put() is never called,
meaning bsg_teardown_job() never executes. This leaves the sg_list
memory and the job->dev reference count permanently leaked, which would
prevent the UFS device from ever being cleanly removed.
Should this error path instead call bsg_job_done(job, -EINVAL, 0)
and return 0 to ensure proper teardown?
