mtdchar: prevent unbounded allocation in MEMWRITE ioctl
In the mtdchar_write_ioctl() function, memdup_user() is called with its 'len' parameter set to verbatim values provided by user space via a struct mtd_write_req. Both the 'len' and 'ooblen' fields of that structure are 64-bit unsigned integers, which means the MEMWRITE ioctl can trigger unbounded kernel memory allocation requests. Fix by iterating over the buffers provided by user space in a loop, processing at most mtd->erasesize bytes in each iteration. Adopt some checks from mtd_check_oob_ops() to retain backward user space compatibility.
