Subject: [PATCH 4.8 36/57] scsi: arcmsr: Simplify user_len checking

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

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

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>

commit 4bd173c30792791a6daca8c64793ec0a4ae8324f upstream.

Do the user_len check first and then the ver_addr allocation so that we
can save us the kfree() on the error path when user_len is >
ARCMSR_API_DATA_BUFLEN.
