[PATCH 6.3 049/286] rxrpc: Truncate UTS_RELEASE for rxrpc version

[ Upstream commit 020c69c1a793ed29d28793808eddd75210c858dd ]

UTS_RELEASE has a maximum length of 64 which can cause rxrpc_version to
exceed the 65 byte message limit.

Per the rx spec[1]: "If a server receives a packet with a type value of 13,
and the client-initiated flag set, it should respond with a 65-byte payload
containing a string that identifies the version of AFS software it is
running."

The current implementation causes a compile error when WERROR is turned on
and/or UTS_RELEASE exceeds the length of 49 (making the version string more
than 64 characters).

Fix this by generating the string during module initialisation and limiting
the UTS_RELEASE segment of the string does not exceed 49 chars.  We need to
make sure that the 64 bytes includes "linux-" at the front and " AF_RXRPC"
at the back as this may be used in pattern matching.

Fixes: 44ba06987c0b ("RxRPC: Handle VERSION Rx protocol packets")
