tipc: safely copy UDP netlink data from user The netlink policy for TIPC_NLA_UDP_LOCAL and TIPC_NLA_UDP_REMOTE is of type binary with a defined length. This causes the policy framework to threat the defined length as maximum length. There is however no protection against a user sending a smaller amount of data. Prior to this patch this wasn't handled which could result in a partially incomplete sockaddr_storage struct containing uninitialized data. In this patch we use nla_memcpy() when copying the user data. This ensures a potential gap at the end is cleared out properly. This was found by Julia with Coccinelle tool.
