nfs_readlink_reply() validates rlen only against the incoming packet
length (inherited from CVE-2019-14195), but not against the destination
buffer nfs_path_buff[2048]. A malicious NFS server can send a valid
READLINK reply where pathlen + rlen exceeds sizeof(nfs_path_buff),
overflowing the BSS buffer into adjacent memory.
The recent fix in fd6e3d34097f addressed the same overflow class in
net/lwip/nfs.c but left the legacy path in net/nfs-common.c unpatched.
Add bounds checks before both memcpy calls in nfs_readlink_reply():
- relative path branch: reject if pathlen + rlen >= sizeof(nfs_path_buff)
- absolute path branch: reject if rlen >= sizeof(nfs_path_buff)
