RDMA/cma: Verify private data length

Browse source

private_data_len is defined as a u8.  If the user specifies a large
private_data size (> 220 bytes), we will calculate a total length that
exceeds 255, resulting in private_data_len wrapping back to 0.  This
can lead to overwriting random kernel memory.  Avoid this by verifying
that the resulting size fits into a u8.
