Subject[PATCH RFC] tun: remove of user-controlled memory allocation
Untested, this is just an RFC.

tun does a kmalloc where userspace controls the length. This will
produce warnings in kernel log when the length is too large, or might
block for a long while. A simple fix is to avoid the allocatiuon
altogether, and copy from user in a loop.

However, with this patch an illegal address passed to the ioctl might
leave the filter disabled. Is this something we care about? If
yes we could recover by creating a copy of the filter. Thoughts?
