[PATCH] Handle copying bitmaps to larger data buffers

["Allen, John" <John.Allen@xxxxxxx>]

If a bitmap of a shorter length than the data buffer is passed to
virBitmapToDataBuf, it will read off the end of the bitmap and copy junk
into the returned buffer. Add a check to only copy the length of the
bitmap to the buffer.

The problem can be observed after setting a vcpu affinity using the vcpupin
command on a system with a large number of cores:
  # virsh vcpupin example_domain 0 0
  # virsh vcpupin example_domain 0
     VCPU   CPU Affinity
    ---------------------------
     0      0,192,197-198,202
