This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until EINVAL is no longer returned. This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made when the length is <= 0. Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3 CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).
