[PATCH v3 1/2] lib: decompress_unzstd: Limit output size

From: Paul Cercueil
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 10:29:07 EST


The zstd decompression code, as it is right now, will most likely fail
on 32-bit systems, as the default output buffer size causes the buffer's
end address to overflow.

Address this issue by setting a sane default to the default output size,
with a value that won't overflow the buffer's end address.

Notes:
v2: Change limit to 1 GiB

v3: Compute size limit instead of using hardcoded value
