[PATCH v2] crypto: qat - add limit to linked list parsing

[Adam Guerin <adam.guerin@xxxxxxxxx>]

adf_copy_key_value_data() copies data from userland to kernel, based on
a linked link provided by userland. If userland provides a circular
list (or just a very long one) then it would drive a long loop where
allocation occurs in every loop. This could lead to low memory conditions.
Adding a limit to stop endless loop.
