Subject: [PATCH v2] qtnfmac: Fix possible buffer overflow in qtnf_event_handle_external_auth

Function qtnf_event_handle_external_auth calls memcpy without
checking the length.
A user could control that length and trigger a buffer overflow.
Fix by checking the length is within the maximum allowed size.

v2: use clamp_val() instead of min_t()
