Subject: [PATCH 4.9 170/245] seq_buf: Fix overflow in seq_buf_putmem_hex()

From: Yun Zhou <yun.zhou@...driver.com>

commit d3b16034a24a112bb83aeb669ac5b9b01f744bb7 upstream.

There's two variables being increased in that loop (i and j), and i
follows the raw data, and j follows what is being written into the buffer.
We should compare 'i' to MAX_MEMHEX_BYTES or compare 'j' to HEX_CHARS.
Otherwise, if 'j' goes bigger than HEX_CHARS, it will overflow the
destination buffer.
