l2tp: Fix potential memory corruption in pppol2tp_recvmsg()
This patch fixes a potential memory corruption in
pppol2tp_recvmsg(). If skb->len is bigger than the caller's buffer
length, memcpy_toiovec() will go into unintialized data on the kernel
heap, interpret it as an iovec and start modifying memory.
The fix is to change the memcpy_toiovec() call to
skb_copy_datagram_iovec() so that paged packets (rare for PPPOL2TP)
are handled properly. Also check that the caller's buffer is big
enough for the data and set the MSG_TRUNC flag if it is not so.
