Syzbot reported a stack overflow in bitmap_from_arr32() called from
ethnl_parse_bitset() when bitset from netlink message is longer than
target bitmap length. While ethnl_compact_sanity_checks() makes sure that
trailing part is all zeros (i.e. the request does not try to touch bits
kernel does not recognize), we also need to cap change_bits to nbits so
that we don't try to write past the prepared bitmaps.
Fixes: 88db6d1e4f62 ("ethtool: add ethnl_parse_bitset() helper")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
