[PATCH] net: fbnic: validate mailbox TLV extents

[PATCH] net: fbnic: validate mailbox TLV extents

[Pengpeng Hou]

The mailbox path warns when a message claims more bytes than the descriptor
but still parses it. The attribute walkers also validate a child TLV before
proving that its declared span fits in the parent remainder.

Reject invalid mailbox message extents and bound each child attribute
before type-specific validation.
