ksmbd: validate ipc response length before dereferencing its fields

ipc_validate_msg() computes the expected message size by reading length
fields out of the response buffer supplied by the userspace ksmbd daemon
(payload_sz, session_key_len, ngroups, ...).  Those fields are read before
the buffer is verified to be large enough to contain the struct they belong
to, so a short response makes the read land past the end of the allocation.

handle_response() sizes entry->response purely from the netlink attribute
length (nla_len()) and only guards the leading handle read, so the daemon
can install a response as small as the kmalloc-8 object seen below.  When
ipc_msg_send_request() then calls ipc_validate_msg() for a
KSMBD_EVENT_RPC_REQUEST, the cast to struct ksmbd_rpc_command reads
resp->payload_sz at offset 8 of an 8-byte allocation:

[ 3697.957671] ==================================================================

The final "entry->msg_sz != msg_sz" comparison cannot help: the offending
read has already happened by the time it runs.  Every case in the switch
shares this pattern.

Floor entry->msg_sz against the base struct of each event type before
dereferencing any of its length fields.  On failure ipc_msg_send_request()
already frees the response and returns NULL, so callers stay safe.

The malformed message originates from the ksmbd.mountd daemon over genl
netlink rather than a remote SMB client, so triggering it requires a buggy
or compromised daemon; it is still an out-of-bounds read the validator is
meant to prevent.
