[PATCH] libnvdimm: fix integer overflow static analysis warning

Dan reports:
The patch 62232e45f4a2: "libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for
nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devices" from Jun 8, 2015, leads to the
following static checker warning:

drivers/nvdimm/bus.c:1018 __nd_ioctl()
warn: integer overflows 'buf_len'

From a casual review, this seems like it might be a real bug. On
the first iteration we load some data into in_env[]. On the second
iteration we read a use controlled "in_size" from nd_cmd_in_size().
It can go up to UINT_MAX - 1. A high number means we will fill the
whole in_env[] buffer. But we potentially keep looping and adding
more to in_len so now it can be any value.

It simple enough to change, but it feels weird that we keep looping
even though in_env is totally full. Shouldn't we just return an
error if we don't have space for desc->in_num.

We keep looping because the size of the total input is allowed to be
bigger than the 'envelope' which is a subset of the payload that tells
us how much data to expect. For safety explicitly check that buf_len
does not overflow which is what the checker flagged.
