Subject: [PATCH 3.2 57/62] ubi: Fix out of bounds write in volume update code

3.2.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

commit e4f6daac20332448529b11f09388f1d55ef2084c upstream.

ubi_start_leb_change() allocates too few bytes.
ubi_more_leb_change_data() will write up to req->upd_bytes +
ubi->min_io_size bytes.
