net: expand textsearch ts_state to fit skb_seq_state
[ Upstream commit b228c9b058760500fda5edb3134527f629fc2dc3 ]
The referenced commit expands the skb_seq_state used by
skb_find_text with a 4B frag_off field, growing it to 48B.
This exceeds container ts_state->cb, causing a stack corruption:
[ 73.238353] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack

The struct is passed between skb_find_text and its callbacks
skb_prepare_seq_read, skb_seq_read and skb_abort_seq read through
the textsearch interface using TS_SKB_CB.
I assumed that this mapped to skb->cb like other .._SKB_CB wrappers.
skb->cb is 48B. But it maps to ts_state->cb, which is only 40B.
skb->cb was increased from 40B to 48B after ts_state was introduced,
in commit 3e3850e989c5 ("[NETFILTER]: Fix xfrm lookup in
ip_route_me_harder/ip6_route_me_harder").
Increase ts_state.cb[] to 48 to fit the struct.
Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON to avoid a repeat.
The alternative is to directly add a dependency from textsearch onto
linux/skbuff.h, but I think the intent is textsearch to have no such
dependencies on its callers.
