[PATCH 2/5] efivars: Check size of user object

From: Matt Fleming
Date: Wed Mar 19 2014 - 16:01:19 EST


From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@xxxxxxxxx>

Unbelieavably there are no checks to see whether the data structure
passed to 'new_var' and 'del_var' is the size that we expect. Let's add
some for better robustness.
