Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] skbuff: return -EMSGSIZE in skb_to_sgvec to prevent overflow

This is a defense-in-depth measure in response to bugs like
4d6fa57b4dab ("macsec: avoid heap overflow in skb_to_sgvec"). While
we're at it, we also limit the amount of recursion this function is
allowed to do. Not actually providing a bounded base case is a future
diaster that we can easily avoid here.

Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@...c4.com>

Changes v5->v6:
  * Use unlikely() for the rare overflow conditions.
  * Also bound recursion, since this is a potential disaster we can avert.
