A malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value
to memdup_user_nul(), potentially causing kernel crash.
This follows the same pattern as commit
ee76746387f6
("netdevsim: prevent bad user input in nsim_dev_health_break_write()")
Fixes: b6c7e873daf7 ("xtensa: ISS: add host file-based simulated disk")
Fixes: 16e5c1fc3604 ("convert a bunch of open-coded instances of memdup_user_nul()")
