[PATCH v4 4/5] platform/x86: dell_rbu: Stop overwriting data buffer

[Stuart Hayes <stuart.w.hayes@gmail.com>]

The dell_rbu driver will use memset() to clear the data held by each
packet when it is no longer needed (when the driver is unloaded, the
packet size is changed, etc).

The amount of memory that is cleared (before this patch) is the normal
packet size. However, the last packet in the list may be smaller.

Fix this to only clear the memory actually used by each packet, to prevent
it from writing past the end of data buffer.

Because the packet data buffers are allocated with __get_free_pages() (in
page-sized increments), this bug could only result in a buffer being
overwritten when a packet size larger than one page is used. The only user
of the dell_rbu module should be the Dell BIOS update program, which uses
a packet size of 4096, so no issues should be seen without the patch, it
just blocks the possiblity.
