Subject: [PATCH] jfs: fix out-of-bounds write in jfs_readdir()

jfs_readdir() converts on-disk UTF-16 directory names into a
PAGE_SIZE buffer. The existing space check assumes that each UTF-16
unit produces one output byte:

if (((long) jfs_dirent + d->namlen + 1) >
   ((long)dirent_buf + PAGE_SIZE))

This is insufficient for multibyte NLS encodings, where a UTF-16 unit
can expand to multiple output bytes. jfs_strfromUCS_le() also passes
NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE to uni2char() without accounting for the space
actually remaining in the destination buffer, allowing the conversion
to write past dirent_buf.

Pass remaining buffer size to jfs_strfromUCS_le, Ensure that at least
NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE bytes remain before calling uni2char(). If the
remaining space is insufficient, return -ENAMETOOLONG so jfs_readdir()
can retry the entry in a fresh buffer.
