[lvc-project] [PATCH v2] s390/pkey: prevent overflow in size calculation for memdup_user()

Number of apqn target list entries contained in 'nr_apqns' variable is
determined by userspace via an ioctl call so the result of the product in
calculation of size passed to memdup_user() may overflow.

In this case the actual size of the allocated area and the value
describing it won't be in sync leading to various types of unpredictable
behaviour later.

Use a proper memdup_array_user() helper which returns an error if an
overflow is detected. Note that it is different from when nr_apqns is
initially zero - that case is considered valid and should be handled in
subsequent pkey_handler implementations.
