copy_mount_string: Limit string length to PATH_MAX
On ppc64le, When a string with PAGE_SIZE - 1 (i.e. 64k-1) length is passed as a "filesystem type" argument to the mount(2) syscall, copy_mount_string() ends up allocating 64k (the PAGE_SIZE on ppc64le) worth of space for holding the string in kernel's address space. Later, in set_precision() (invoked by get_fs_type() -> __request_module() -> vsnprintf()), we end up assigning strlen(fs-type-string) i.e. 65535 as the value to 'struct printf_spec'->precision member. This field has a width of 16 bits and it is a signed data type. Hence an invalid value ends up getting assigned. This causes the "WARN_ONCE(spec->precision != prec, "precision %d too large", prec)" statement inside set_precision() to be executed. This commit fixes the bug by limiting the length of the string passed by copy_mount_string() to strndup_user() to PATH_MAX.
