spi: spidev: fix possible arithmetic overflow for multi-transfer message
`spidev_message()` sums the lengths of the individual SPI transfers to determine the overall SPI message length. It restricts the total length, returning an error if too long, but it does not check for arithmetic overflow. For example, if the SPI message consisted of two transfers and the first has a length of 10 and the second has a length of (__u32)(-1), the total length would be seen as 9, even though the second transfer is actually very long. If the second transfer specifies a null `rx_buf` and a non-null `tx_buf`, the `copy_from_user()` could overrun the spidev's pre-allocated tx buffer before it reaches an invalid user memory address. Fix it by checking that neither the total nor the individual transfer lengths exceed the maximum allowed value. Thanks to Dan Carpenter for reporting the potential integer overflow.
