Subject: drm/nouveau/secboot: remove VLA usage
Git-commit: 7bf5b70befd7817b9e42acbd2291b2042ea1bf81
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc1
References: FATE#326289 FATE#326079 FATE#326049 FATE#322398 FATE#326166
In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA. In this particular
case directly use macro NVKM_MSGQUEUE_CMDLINE_SIZE instead of local
variable cmdline_size. Also, remove cmdline_size as it is not
actually useful anymore.
The use of stack Variable Length Arrays needs to be avoided, as they
can be a vector for stack exhaustion, which can be both a runtime bug
or a security flaw. Also, in general, as code evolves it is easy to
lose track of how big a VLA can get. Thus, we can end up having runtime
failures that are hard to debug.
Also, fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from
the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621
