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

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

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>

[ Upstream commit 77e5eb0e192aec6710c03ca8144582fd2af36ca4 ]

pep_getsockopt() clamps the reported length to the caller's buffer with
min_t(), but then stores the value with put_user(val, (int __user *)
optval), which always writes sizeof(int) bytes. A getsockopt() call with
an optlen smaller than sizeof(int) thus reports the clamped length yet
writes a full int, one to three bytes past the user buffer.

Write the value with copy_to_user() bounded by len, so at most optlen
bytes are copied, matching the length reported back to userspace.
