Staging: comedi: fix integer overflow in do_insnlist_ioctl()
There is a potential integer overflow in do_insnlist_ioctl() if userspace passes in a large insnlist.n_insns. The call to kmalloc() would allocate a small buffer, leading to a memory corruption. The bug was reported by Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> and Haogang Chen <haogangchen@gmail.com>. The patch was suggested by Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> and Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>.
