[PATCH BlueZ v1 1/8] eir: Fix stack buffer overflow when parsing the remote name

name2utf8() copies len bytes into a HCI_MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 2, so 250,
byte stack buffer without clamping len first.

eir_parse() only rejects a field once it runs past the end of the EIR
data, and that data is up to 255 bytes, so field_len can be 254 and the
data_len passed to name2utf8() can reach 253. strncpy() then writes 253
bytes into the 250 byte buffer and leaves it unterminated, so the
following g_strstrip() and g_strdup() also read past the end.

The EIR data comes from a remote device, either in an extended inquiry
response or in an advertising report, so the length is attacker
controlled.

Clamp len like the other name2utf8() copies already do. Parsing a 253
byte EIR_NAME_COMPLETE field returned a 253 byte name before this
change, and returns a 249 byte one after it.
