TEST_LENGTH passing ".size = sizeof(struct _struct) - 1" expects a
-EINVAL error code from "if (ucmd.user_size < op->min_size)" check
in the iommufd_fops_ioctl(). This has been working when min_size is
exactly the size of the structure.

When the size of the structure becomes larger than min_size, i.e.
the passing size above is larger than min_size, it bypasses that
min_size sanity and goes down to an ioctl handler with a potential
risk. And actually, the size range can be [min_size, struct_size),
making it harder for us to sanitize with the existing code.

I wonder what's the generic way of sanitizing this case? And, it
seems that TEST_LENGTH needs some rework to test min_size only?
