[PATCH] nvmet-auth: reject overlong negotiate identifier lists

The DH-HMAC-CHAP NEGOTIATE descriptor carries separate lengths for the
hash and DH identifier lists, but each list occupies a fixed 30-byte half
of idlist[]. nvmet_auth_negotiate() uses halen and dhlen from the wire as
loop bounds without validating them, so a remote initiator can make the
target read past the 72-byte request buffer. KASAN reports a
slab-out-of-bounds read in nvmet_execute_auth_send().
Reject list lengths above the protocol maxima before either loop
indexes idlist[].
