[PATCH net] fddi: validate skb length before parsing headers

fddi_type_trans() reads FDDI header fields from skb->data without first
checking that the received frame is long enough for those fields.
The destination address spans offsets 1-6 and the LLC dsap field is at
offset 13. For SNAP frames, fddi->hdr.llc_snap.ethertype is at offsets
19-20. A truncated 15-byte frame with dsap != 0xe0 therefore enters the
SNAP branch and reads the ethertype past the end of the frame.
KASAN reports this when such a frame is processed through a dummy FDDI
netdev that calls the real fddi_type_trans() on an exact kmalloc() copy
of the frame:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fddi_type_trans+0x385/0x3a0
Read of size 2 at addr ffff888009c6fe33
The buggy address is located 4 bytes to the right of
allocated 15-byte region [ffff888009c6fe20, ffff888009c6fe2f)
Reject short frames before reading the fields: require the minimum 802.2
header length before accessing dsap or daddr, and require the full SNAP
header length before reading the SNAP ethertype. Returning protocol 0
causes the malformed packet to be ignored by protocol handlers.
