nfc_llcp_connect_sn() walks the TLV array of an LLCP CONNECT PDU
looking for the Service Name TLV, but shares the same class of bugs
as nfc_llcp_recv_snl() / nfc_llcp_parse_gb_tlv():

 1. tlv_array_len = skb->len - LLCP_HEADER_SIZE wraps when skb->len
    is 0 or 1.  The subsequent loop then runs far past the buffer.

 2. The per-iteration guard `offset < tlv_array_len` only proves one
    byte is available, but the body reads both tlv[0] (type) and
    tlv[1] (length).

 3. The peer-supplied `length` field is used to advance `tlv` without
    being checked against the remaining array space, so a crafted
    length walks `tlv` past the buffer.  On the following iteration
    tlv[0]/tlv[1] are read from adjacent memory.

 4. When an LLCP_TLV_SN is found, the function returns &tlv[2] with
    *sn_len = length but without verifying that `length` bytes at
    tlv[2..] are still inside the TLV array.  The caller in
    nfc_llcp_recv_connect() then uses this (pointer, length) pair as
    a service name, so it may read past the PDU.

Fix: reject frames smaller than LLCP_HEADER_SIZE up front; add TLV
header and TLV value guards at the top of each iteration.  The value
guard also ensures that the (&tlv[2], length) pair returned on
LLCP_TLV_SN lies fully inside the TLV array.

Also use LLCP_HEADER_SIZE instead of the magic literal `2` to match
the style of neighbouring LLCP receive paths.
