[PATCH] keys, dns: Fix missing size check of V1 server-list header

Hi Linus, Edward,

Here's Linus's patch dressed up with a commit message.  I would marginally
prefer just to insert the missing size check, but I'm also fine with Linus's
approach for now until we have different content types or newer versions.

Note that I'm not sure whether I should require Linus's S-o-b since he made
modifications or whether I should use a Codeveloped-by line for him.

keys, dns: Fix missing size check of V1 server-list header

The dns_resolver_preparse() function has a check on the size of the payload
for the basic header of the binary-style payload, but is missing a check
for the size of the V1 server-list payload header after determining that's
what we've been given.

Fix this by getting rid of the the pointer to the basic header and just
assuming that we have a V1 server-list payload and moving the V1 server
list pointer inside the if-statement.  Dealing with other types and
versions can be left for when such have been defined.

This can be tested by doing the following with KASAN enabled:

        echo -n -e '\x0\x0\x1\x2' | keyctl padd dns_resolver foo @p

and produces an oops like the following:

        BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in dns_resolver_preparse+0xc9f/0xd60 net/dns_resolver/dns_key.c:127

This patch was originally by Edward Adam Davis, but was modified by Linus.
