Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: bound POSIX lock data area by response length

CIFSSMBPosixLock() receives a TRANS2 response whose server-provided DataOffset and DataCount are not required by validate_t2() to describe an interval inside the response. A server can therefore make the client read a cifs_posix_lock beyond the response buffer and return those kernel bytes through F_GETLK.

Use smbCalcSize() to obtain the full response length after any multipart TRANS2 reassembly, then reject data areas that extend past it before dereferencing them.

Fixes fc94cdb94462 ("[CIFS] Fix new POSIX Locking for setting lock_type correctly on unlock")
