4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1bb33a98702d8360947f18a44349df75ba555d5d upstream.
After various discussions on linux-fsdevel, it has been decided that it
is not necessary to cap the length of a dedupe request, and that
correctly-written userspace client programs will be able to absorb the
change. Therefore, remove the length clamping behavior.
