[PATCH v2] net/bnxt: add response bounds checks for TruFlow messages

From: Farah Smith <farah.smith at broadcom.com>

Add explicit input validation against fixed response data buffer
sizes in TruFlow message getters. This prevents potential stack
over-reads if a caller passes a requested size exceeding the local
response buffer size.

Add the same guard to tf_msg_get_tbl_entry(), tf_msg_get_global_cfg(),
and tf_msg_get_if_tbl_entry() - each copies firmware response data
into a caller buffer using a caller-supplied size without first
checking that size against the local, fixed-size response buffer.
Also use the caller's own size value directly for the final memcpy
in tf_msg_get_global_cfg() and tf_msg_get_if_tbl_entry() instead of
a re-derived field, avoiding any possible mismatch between the two.

Fixes: dba3ca8b304f ("net/bnxt: support TruFlow core table scope")
Fixes: a11f87d3b2ca ("net/bnxt: add global config set and get functions")
Fixes: f3502f5cd281 ("net/bnxt: implement IF tables set and get")
