Another good catch. This bug was introduced after the last change was made. I
still don't want to have a size_out as part of the mailbox command.

Validate should not alter the size_out field except in the case of RAW commands.

I believe this is the right fix, handle_mailbox_cmd_from_user() already will
only copy_to the right number of byte, but your eyes on it are appreciated.
