control_msg_handler() passes the modem-supplied data_length field of a
CTL_ID_HS2_MSG message straight to t7xx_fsm_append_event(), which
memcpy()s that many bytes out of the skb.  Nothing compares the field
with the actual length of the message, so a modem reporting a larger
data_length makes the driver read past the end of the skb and store
kernel heap memory in the FSM event.

0e7c074cfcd9 ("net: wwan: t7xx: validate port_count against message
length in t7xx_port_enum_msg_handler") added this kind of check for
the port enumeration path but missed the handshake path.

Reject the message when data_length does not fit into the skb.

Verified in a QEMU guest with a fault injector feeding the driver's
control port thread a handshake message whose data_length exceeds the
skb: the unpatched driver trips KASAN on a read of 8192 bytes past a
500-byte payload, and the extra bytes land in the FSM event.  With
this check the message is rejected, and well-formed handshakes are
unaffected.
