[PATCH] iio: accel: fxls8962af: clamp FIFO sample count

fxls8962af_fifo_flush() copies the number of samples the device reports
in its FIFO status register into an on-stack buffer

	u16 buffer[FXLS8962AF_FIFO_LENGTH * 3];

which is sized for at most FXLS8962AF_FIFO_LENGTH (32) samples. The
sample count is read from the BUF_STATUS register and only masked to its
6 valid bits:

	count = reg & FXLS8962AF_BUF_STATUS_BUF_CNT;

so it can be 0..63, while the buffer holds 32. The only other limit,
the watermark, is applied on the write path (fxls8962af_set_watermark)
but not here on the read path. count samples are then transferred into
buffer[]:

	fxls8962af_fifo_transfer(data, buffer, count);

fxls8962af_fifo_transfer() reads count * 6 bytes through regmap, so a
malfunctioning, malicious or counterfeit accelerometer (or an attacker
tampering with the I2C/SPI bus) that reports up to 63 samples writes up
to 378 bytes into the 192-byte buffer: a stack out-of-bounds write of up
to 186 bytes that clobbers the stack canary, saved registers and the
return address.

Clamp count to FXLS8962AF_FIFO_LENGTH, the number of samples buffer[] is
sized for, before the transfer, mirroring the watermark clamp already
done in fxls8962af_set_watermark(). A well-formed flush reports at most
FXLS8962AF_FIFO_LENGTH samples, so legitimate devices are unaffected.

This series adds a single patch clamping the device-reported FIFO sample
count in fxls8962af_fifo_flush(), mirroring the bmc150 fix (ce0e1cae2609).
