From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 61678d28d4a45ef376f5d02a839cc37509ae9281 ] syzbot reported an out-of-bound access in em_nbyte. As initially analyzed by Eric, this is because em_nbyte sets its own em->datalen in em_nbyte_change() other than the one specified by user, but this value gets overwritten later by its caller tcf_em_validate(). We should leave em->datalen untouched to respect their choices. I audit all the in-tree ematch users, all of those implement ->change() set em->datalen, so we can just avoid setting it twice in this case.
