[PATCH net] nfc: llcp: fix SNL PDU size truncation in nfc_llcp_allocate_snl()

nfc_llcp_allocate_snl() sums the requested TLV payload length into a u16
variable before passing it to alloc_skb(), but its tlv_length argument
is a size_t and callers pass a length bounded only by the size of the
netlink message that produced it.

nfc_genl_llc_sdreq() walks the nested NFC_ATTR_LLC_SDP attributes of a
GENL_ADMIN_PERM request, builds one SDREQ TLV per attribute and sums
their lengths into the size_t tlvs_len. Each URI is capped at
U8_MAX - 4 bytes by nfc_sdp_genl_policy, so every TLV fits in its u8
tlv_len, but nothing caps the number of attributes, so tlvs_len can
exceed U16_MAX.

When it does, the u16 accumulator wraps and alloc_skb() returns a
buffer that is far too small. nfc_llcp_send_snl_sdreq() then calls
skb_put_data() once per TLV and writes all tlvs_len bytes into it,
which trips skb_over_panic() and panics the machine.

Use size_t for the accumulated size so that it can no longer wrap
before the allocation. alloc_skb() takes an unsigned int, which is
still wide enough for any length a netlink message can carry.
