Subject: [PATCH] rapidio: potential overflow in riocm_ch_send()

The "buf" variable has "len" bytes, and the size is controlled by the
user in cm_chan_msg_send().  If the length is fewer than sizeof(*hdr)
then it could lead to memory corruption.

Strictly speaking the last two bytes of length are reserved and not
written to but it's simpler and better to check "< sizeof(*hdr)" instead
of "< sizeof(*hdr) - 2".  This is better for future proofing.
