i2c: smbus: reject oversized block transfers in the common path

The SMBus block transfer length data->block[0] is validated in
i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() but that check runs too late for tracepoints
and is skipped entirely when the adapter provides a native smbus_xfer
implementation. This allows user-controlled oversized block lengths to
reach tracepoint memcpy calls and driver callbacks unchecked.

Add an early validation in __i2c_smbus_xfer() that rejects block
transfers whose caller-supplied length is zero or exceeds
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX before any tracepoint fires or driver callback
runs. data->block[0] is filled in by the device on SMBus block reads,
so the check is scoped to operations where the length is actually
supplied by the caller. This is consistent with the existing -EINVAL
convention in the emulated path and protects all downstream consumers
at once: the smbus_write tracepoint, all native smbus_xfer driver
implementations, and the emulated path.

Two distinct bugs are fixed by this change:

Bug 1: smbus_write tracepoint OOB (include/trace/events/smbus.h)
  trace_smbus_write() fires before any validation and copies
  data->block[0]+1 bytes into a 34-byte event buffer. With
  block[0]=0xfe the tracepoint copies 255 bytes, overflowing by 221.

Bug 2: i2c-stub I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA OOB (drivers/i2c/i2c-stub.c)
  stub_xfer() implements .smbus_xfer directly and only clamps
  block[0] against 256-command, not I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX. With
  block[0]=0xff and command=0 the loop accesses block[1+i] for
  i up to 254, far past the 34-byte union.

Both traces reproduced on v7.0-rc6+i2c/for-current with KASAN+UBSAN.
