syzbot attempts to write a buffer with a large size to a sysfs entry
with writes handled by handle_policy_update(), triggering a warning
in kmalloc.

Check the size specified for write buffers before allocating.

v2: Make the check in handle_policy_update() to also cover
safesetid_uid_file_write(). Thanks for your feedback.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241216030213.246804-2-leocstone@gmail.com/ (local)

Looks okay to me.  Micah, are you planning to merge this patch, or
would you like me to take it via the LSM tree?

Reviewed-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>

I'm going to tag this to come back to it in a week or so in case we
don't hear from Micah, but if you don't see any further replies Leo,
feel free to send a gentle nudge ;)
I'm going to go ahead and merge this into lsm/dev, if Micah has a
problem with that I can always remove/revert if needed.

We may need to revisit safesetid's documented support status, but
that's a topic for another day.

Thanks everyone.
