net/sched: potential data corruption
The reset_policy() does:
memset(d->tcfd_defdata, 0, SIMP_MAX_DATA);
strlcpy(d->tcfd_defdata, defdata, SIMP_MAX_DATA);
In the original code, the size of d->tcfd_defdata wasn't fixed and if
strlen(defdata) was less than 31, reset_policy() would cause memory
corruption.
Please Note: The original alloc_defdata() assumes defdata is 32
characters and a NUL terminator while reset_policy() assumes defdata is
31 characters and a NUL. This patch updates alloc_defdata() to match
reset_policy() (ie a shorter string). I'm not very familiar with this
code so please review carefully.
