[PATCH] tun: make sure interface usage can not overflow

[Kees Cook]

This makes the size argument a const, since it is always populated by
the caller. Additionally double-checks to make sure the copy_from_user
can never overflow, keeping CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS happy:

   In function 'copy_from_user',
       inlined from '__tun_chr_ioctl' at drivers/net/tun.c:1871:7:
       ... copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
