Subject: [PATCH] dm ioctl: Avoid double-fetch of version

The version is fetched once in check_version(), which then does some validation and then overwrites the version in userspace with the API version supported by the kernel. copy_params() then fetches the version from userspace *again*, and this time no validation is done. The result is that the kernel's version number is completely controllable by userspace, provided that userspace can win a race condition.

Fix this flaw by not copying the version back to the kernel the second time. This is not exploitable as the version is not further used in the kernel. However, it could become a problem if future patches start relying on the version field.
