[PATCH] libceph: fix client panic on MDS message with data but no data items

[Henry Martin <bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com>]

mds_alloc_msg() allocates MDS->client messages with zero data items,
and nothing validates the on-wire data length against that: messenger
v1 calls prepare_message_data() whenever data_len is non-zero, and
messenger v2 unconditionally calls ceph_msg_data_cursor_init() from
prepare_read_data().  Both reach ceph_msg_data_cursor_init(), which
does BUG_ON(!msg->num_data_items) — a malicious or compromised MDS
can remotely panic any connected client (kernel denial of service) by
setting a non-zero data_len on any message type that carries no data
payload.

No legitimate MDS->client message carries data items (OSD messages
with data_len > 0 always attach items; MON/MDS control messages
carry none), so rejecting the combination is a pure protocol
violation check.  Turn the latent BUG_ON into a connection error
(-EPROTO, error_msg set) on both protocol versions.

This issue was discovered by Tencent CodeBuddy Security.
