[PATCH iwl-net] idpf: fix RSS LUT memcpy size

[PATCH iwl-net] idpf: fix RSS LUT memcpy size

[Larysa Zaremba]

Based on the following feedback from Sashiko (received for iXD phase 1
patchset, but valid for the net tree):

 "Is the bounds check xn_params.recv_mem.iov_len < lut_buf_size sufficient?
  Since lut_buf_size only represents the size of the array elements, should
  this check instead verify that the payload is at least
  sizeof(struct virtchnl2_rss_lut) + lut_buf_size?

  [...]

  Does memcpy copy the correct amount of data here? rss_lut_size stores the
  number of 32-bit entries, not the size in bytes. Should it use
  lut_buf_size or rss_data->rss_lut_size * sizeof(u32) instead?"

After inspecting the code, it was concluded that RSS memcpy size is in fact
4 times smaller than it has to be, since a single array entry in a u32, and
rss_data->rss_lut_size is clearly used as an array size. Required Rx buffer
size is also too small, but this is a common issue in the idpf code.

Use a full buffer size (lut_buf_size) instead of the array length
(rss_data->rss_lut_size) when doing memcpy of RSS lookup table.
While at it, increase required Rx buffer size to a whole flex-array
containing structure instead of just the array.

This feels like it should be using struct_size or flex_array_size...

There is an AI generated review of this patch available on sashiko.dev.
It seems to me that the issues raised there do warrant further investigation.
But that they are pre-existing problems that and don't need to
block progress of this patch.
