[PATCH v2] kobject: Fix global-out-of-bounds in kobject_action_type()

[Xia Fukun <xiafukun@huawei.com>]

The following c language code can trigger KASAN's global variable
out-of-bounds access error in kobject_action_type():

int main() {
    int fd;
    char *filename = "/sys/block/ram12/uevent";
    char str[86] = "offline";
    int len = 86;

    fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY);
    if (fd == -1) {
        printf("open");
        exit(1);
    }

    if (write(fd, str, len) == -1) {
        printf("write");
        exit(1);
    }

    close(fd);
    return 0;
}

Function kobject_action_type() receives the input parameters buf and count,
where count is the length of the string buf.

In the use case we provided, count is 86, the count_first is 85.
Buf points to a string with a length of 86, and its first seven
characters are "offline".
In line 87 of the code, kobject_actions[action] is the string "offline"
with the length of 7,an out-of-boundary access will appear:

kobject_actions[action][85].

Modify the judgment logic in line 87. If the length of the string
kobject_actions[action] is greater than count_first(e.g. buf is "off",
count is 3), continue the loop.
Otherwise, the match is considered successful.

This change means that our test case will be successfully parsed as an
offline event and no out-of-bounds access error will occur.
