Subject: [PATCH] tpm: vtpm_proxy: Avoid device-originated buffer overflow

When building with -Warray-bounds, this warning was emitted:

In function 'memset',
    inlined from 'vtpm_proxy_fops_read' at drivers/char/tpm/tpm_vtpm_proxy.c:102:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:43:33: warning: '__builtin_memset' pointer overflow between offset 164 and size [2147483648, 4294967295]
[-Warray-bounds]
   43 | #define __underlying_memset     __builtin_memset
      |                                 ^

There was no checking of the req_len value from the device. A malicious
(or buggy) device could end up leaking (and when wiping) memory contents
beyond the end of the proxy buffer.
