[PATCH v3] rtl8187: Fix potential buffer underflow in rtl8187_rx_cb()

[pip-izony]

From: Seungjin Bae <eeodqql09@xxxxxxxxx>

The rtl8187_rx_cb() calculates the rx descriptor header address
by subtracting its size from the skb tail pointer.
However, it does not validate if the received packet
(skb->len from urb->actual_length) is large enough to contain this
header.

If a truncated packet is received, this will lead to a buffer
underflow, reading memory before the start of the skb data area,
and causing a kernel panic.

Add length checks for both rtl8187 and rtl8187b descriptor headers
before attempting to access them, dropping the packet cleanly if the
check fails.

Fixes: 6f7853f3cbe4 ("rtl8187: change rtl8187_dev.c to support RTL8187B (part 2)")
