[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH net] AX.25: Prevent out-of-bounds read in ax25_sendmsg()

[Peilin Ye]

Checks on `addr_len` and `usax->sax25_ndigis` are insufficient.
ax25_sendmsg() can go out of bounds when `usax->sax25_ndigis` equals to 7
or 8. Fix it.

It is safe to remove `usax->sax25_ndigis > AX25_MAX_DIGIS`, since
`addr_len` is guaranteed to be less than or equal to
`sizeof(struct full_sockaddr_ax25)`
