[PATCH 1/3] fpga: dfl: add bounds check in dfh_get_param_size()

From: Sebastian Josue Alba Vives <sebasjosue84@gmail.com>

dfh_get_param_size() can return a parameter size larger than the feature
region because the loop bounds check is evaluated before incrementing
size. If the EOP (End of Parameters) bit is set in the same iteration,
the inflated size is returned without re-validation against max.

This can cause create_feature_instance() to call memcpy_fromio() with
a size exceeding the ioremap'd region when a malicious FPGA device
provides crafted DFHv1 parameter headers.

Add a bounds re-check after the size increment to ensure the returned
size never exceeds the feature boundary.

Fixes: a80a4b2b2e4f ("fpga: dfl: add support for DFHv1")
