Subject: [PATCH] misc: ibmvmc: fix buffer overflow in ibmvmc_recv_msg()

The ibmvmc_recv_msg() function receives a msg_len value from the
hypervisor and uses it directly in h_copy_rdma() without validating.
This can result a buffer overflow.

Add a check to ensure msg_len does not exceed buffer->size before
calling h_copy_rdma().
