Subject: [ 111/171] libceph: fix overflow in __decode_pool_names()

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xi Wang <xi.wang@...il.com>

(cherry picked from commit ad3b904c07dfa88603689bf9a67bffbb9b99beb5)

`len' is read from network and thus needs validation.  Otherwise a
large `len' would cause out-of-bounds access via the memcpy() call.
In addition, len = 0xffffffff would overflow the kmalloc() size,
leading to out-of-bounds write.

This patch adds a check of `len' via ceph_decode_need().  Also use
kstrndup rather than kmalloc/memcpy.

[elder@...tank.com: added -ENOMEM return for null kstrndup() result]
