Subject: vfs: ioctl: prevent double-fetch in dedupe ioctl

From: Scott Bauer <[email protected]>

commit 10eec60ce79187686e052092e5383c99b4420a20 upstream.

This prevents a double-fetch from user space that can lead to to an undersized allocation and heap overflow.

Fixes 54dbc1517237 ("vfs: hoist the btrfs deduplication ioctl to the vfs")
