4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Phil Turnbull <phil.turnbull@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 42857cf512cb34c2c8cb50f1e766689d979d64e0 upstream.
The check for writing more than cb_max_size bytes does not 'goto out' so
it is a no-op which allows users to vmalloc an arbitrary amount.
Fixes: 03607ace807b ("configfs: implement binary attributes")
