6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sungmin Kang <[email protected]>

commit ee7f9bb9320add61f7b367d7e6cd55e3a3a4d65d upstream.

sl_realloc_bufs() replaces rbuff and updates buffsize while holding
sl->lock. slip_receive_buf() reads those fields and writes through rbuff
without holding the lock.

An MTU change can therefore race with receive processing. An MTU shrink
can expose the new smaller rbuff with the old larger bound, causing an
out-of-bounds write. A receive callback which already loaded the old
rbuff can instead continue writing after that buffer has been freed.

Serialize receive processing with sl_realloc_bufs() by holding sl->lock
while consuming each receive batch.
