Subject: [V9fs-developer] [PATCH] p9_check_errors() validate PDU length

p9_check_errors() does not validate the size of the PDU read
in p9_parse_header(). Any size can be passed, provoking out-of-bound reads.

As suggested by Dominique:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/9/688
Such check is not enough as it will prevent to read more than how it has
been allocated but it won't prevent to read more than how it has been read
So this patch will require some more changes to prevent bad sizes.
