[PATCH 4.17 324/324] reiserfs: fix broken xattr handling (heap corruption, bad retval)

commit a13f085d111e90469faf2d9965eb39b11c114d7e upstream.

This fixes the following issues:

- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that each
individual name fits, but the concatenation of all names doesn't fit,
reiserfs_listxattr() overflows the supplied buffer. This leads to a
kernel heap overflow (verified using KASAN) followed by an out-of-bounds
usercopy and is therefore a security bug.

- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that a
name doesn't fit, -ERANGE should be returned. But reiserfs instead just
truncates the list of names; I have verified that if the only xattr on a
file has a longer name than the supplied buffer length, listxattr()
incorrectly returns zero.

With my patch applied, -ERANGE is returned in both cases and the memory
corruption doesn't happen anymore.

Credit for making me clean this code up a bit goes to Al Viro, who pointed
out that the ->actor calling convention is suboptimal and should be
changed.
