[PATCH v2 1/2] nvme-tcp: reject a read that transferred too few bytes

nvme_tcp_recv_data() completes a request once the current C2HData PDU
has been consumed. Nothing compares the total bytes received against
the length the command asked for -- struct nvme_tcp_request has no
receive-side counter, and queue->data_remaining is per queue, not per
command. The layers above do not catch it either, since
blk_mq_end_request() completes for blk_rq_bytes(rq) unconditionally and
nothing here has a residual concept.
A controller can therefore answer a 4096-byte read with 512 bytes and
have it reported as a complete read; user space then gets 4096 bytes of
which 3584 are whatever was already in the page. I reproduced that with
a test target.
Count the bytes received and refuse to complete a successful read whose
count does not match, at the two NVME_TCP_F_DATA_SUCCESS paths and in
nvme_tcp_process_nvme_cqe(). Only REQ_OP_READ is checked, because there
the length comes from the sectors the request covers; a passthrough
command is built by its submitter, which picks both the command and the
buffer, so the kernel has nothing to compare against.

v1 -> v2: an automated review pointed out that the check also applied to
passthrough commands, where the kernel does not know the command's real
transfer length; restricted to REQ_OP_READ. Patch 2/2 is unchanged.
