      ethtool: fix potential userspace buffer overflow · 698d9dc3

      ethtool_get_regs() allocates a buffer of size ops->get_regs_len(),
      and pass it to the kernel driver via ops->get_regs() for filling.
      
      There is no restriction about what the kernel drivers can or cannot do
      with the open ethtool_regs structure. They usually set regs->version
      and ignore regs->len or set it to the same size as ops->get_regs_len().
      
      But if userspace allocates a smaller buffer for the registers dump,
      we would cause a userspace buffer overflow in the final copy_to_user()
      call, which uses the regs.len value potentially reset by the driver.
      
      To fix this, make this case obvious and store regs.len before calling
      ops->get_regs(), to only copy as much data as requested by userspace,
      up to the value returned by ops->get_regs_len().
      
      While at it, remove the redundant check for non-null regbuf.
