In general, accessing userspace memory beyond the length of the supplied
buffer in VFS read/write handlers can lead to both kernel memory corruption
(via kernel_read()/kernel_write(), which can e.g. be triggered via
sys_splice()) and privilege escalation inside userspace.
In this case, the affected files are in debugfs (and should therefore only
be accessible to root), and the read handlers check that *pos is zero
(meaning that at least sys_splice() can't trigger kernel memory
corruption). Because of the root requirement, this is not a security fix,
but rather a cleanup.
For the read handlers, fix it by using simple_read_from_buffer() instead
of custom logic. Add min() calls to the write handlers.
