Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 018/185] [media] cx24117: fix a buffer overflow when checking userspace params

3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@....samsung.com>

commit 82e3b88b679049f043fe9b03991d6d66fc0a43c8 upstream.

The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the
userspace API. However, the code allows to write up much more values:
	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c:983 cx24116_send_diseqc_msg() error: buffer overflow 'd->msg' 6 <= 23
