The CORE_INIT_RSP handlers walk the response using length fields taken
from the packet itself, without checking they stay within skb->len:

 - v1 computes
	rsp_2 = skb->data + 6 + rsp_1->num_supported_rf_interfaces;
   from the on-wire (unclamped) interface count and then dereferences
   rsp_2, and memcpy()s the advertised interfaces - both can run past the
   received data;
 - v2 walks supported_rf_interfaces[], advancing the cursor by an
   in-packet rf_extension_cnt with no bound.

A short CORE_INIT_RSP therefore makes the parser read past the packet
(into the uninitialised tail of the RX skb); the values are stored into
struct nci_dev and consumed while bringing the device up:

  BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nci_dev_up+0x10f3/0x1720
   nci_dev_up+0x10f3/0x1720
   nfc_dev_up+0x187/0x380
   nfc_genl_dev_up+0xdc/0x1a0
   genl_rcv_msg+0x5d4/0x9e0
   netlink_rcv_skb+0x28f/0x530
  Uninit was stored to memory at:
   nci_rsp_packet+0x68f/0x2310
   nci_rx_work+0x25f/0x5d0
  Uninit was created at:
   __alloc_skb+0x540/0xd40
   virtual_ncidev_write+0x65/0x210

Bound both parsers to skb->len before dereferencing the variable-length
parts, rejecting truncated responses with NCI_STATUS_SYNTAX_ERROR.
