[PATCH] fs: efivarfs: skip variables whose name does not fit struct dirent

From: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum at barebox.org>
efivarfs fills struct dirent in its own readdir, so it doesn't benefit
from the length check in fillonedir() and strcpy()s the variable name
and GUID suffix into the 256 byte d_name unchecked.
The names come from the firmware, which allows up to 1023 characters
here, and efivars_create() takes them from the path, so creating a
variable with a 300 character name and listing /efivars overruns the
directory allocation.
Let's skip such variables with a warning like fillonedir() does.
Fixes: ef4f9d77b72c ("fs: implement EFI variable filesystem driver")
