[PATCH] ubifs: fix out-of-bounds write in LPT commit padding

In write_cnodes(), when writing LPT data to a LEB, the code pads the
write buffer to min_io_size alignment using:
memset(buf + offs, 0xff, alen - wlen)
where wlen = offs - from and alen = ALIGN(wlen, min_io_size). The
buffer (c->lpt_buf) is allocated with size c->leb_size. When offs is
near leb_size and from is non-zero, the alignment padding can push
the memset past the end of the buffer.
For example, with leb_size=4096, offs=4000, from=3584, min_io_size=1024:
wlen=416, alen=1024, padding=608 bytes at offset 4000
writes to offsets 4000..4607, 512 bytes past the 4096-byte buffer
Clamp the padding size to not exceed the buffer boundary in all 4
instances of this pattern.
The OOB write was confirmed with KASAN using a test module that
reproduces the arithmetic with matching buffer and alignment values.
