[PATCH net] net/atm: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in vcc_setsockopt()

[Eric Dumazet]

vcc_setsockopt() never checked optlen for ATM-specific options (SO_ATMQOS
and SO_SETCLP) and called copy_from_sockptr() assuming optval contained
sufficient space for struct atm_qos or unsigned long.

While copy_from_user() previously copied from a user buffer without checking
optlen, the introduction of sockptr_t and cgroup BPF setsockopt filters allows
optval to point to a kernel memory buffer allocated with a reduced optlen.
Because copy_from_sockptr() on kernel pointers uses memcpy(), this leads to a
KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read when optlen is smaller than the expected structure
size.

Fix this by using copy_safe_from_sockptr(), which validates that optlen is at
least the expected size before copying.

I will send a V2, because @value is an "unsigned long", while a prior
check uses an "int"

#define SO_SETCLP   __SO_ENCODE(SOL_ATM,0,int)

I will change @value to an "int" in V2.
