[PATCH net v3 2/4] llc: Improve setsockopt() handling of malformed user input

copy_from_sockptr() is used incorrectly: return value is the number of
bytes that could not be copied. Since it's deprecated, switch to
copy_safe_from_sockptr().

Note: Keeping the `optlen != sizeof(int)` check as copy_safe_from_sockptr()
by itself would also accept optlen > sizeof(int). Which would allow a more
lenient handling of inputs.
