Prevent memory scribble by checking that ioctl buffer size parameters are sane. Without this check, on 32 bits system, if .insize = 0xffffffff - 20 and .outsize the amount to scribble, we would overflow, allocate a small amounts and be able to write outside of the malloc'ed area. Adding a hard limit allows argument checking of the ioctl. With the current EC, it is expected .insize and .outsize to be at around 512 bytes or less.
