Subject[PATCH RFC v1a] firewire: cdev: prevent kernel stack leaking into ioctl arguments
Found by the UC-KLEE tool:  A user could supply less input to
firewire-cdev ioctls than write- or write/read-type ioctl handlers
expect. The handlers used data from uninitialized kernel stack then.

This could partially leak back to the user if the kernel subsequently
generated fw_cdev_event_'s (to be read from the firewire-cdev fd)
which notably would contain the _u64 closure field which many of the
ioctl argument structures contain.

The fact that the handlers would act on random garbage input is a
lesser issue since all handlers must check their input anyway.

Remarks:
- There was never any leak from kernel stack to the ioctl output
buffer itself. IOW, it was not possible to read kernel stack by a
read-type or write/read-type ioctl alone; the leak could at most
happen in combination with read()ing subsequent event data.
- The affected character device file interface is specified in
include/uapi/linux/firewire-cdev.h. An overview is given in
Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev.

This fix uses a lookup table to verify that all ioctl input fields are
indeed written by the user. Else the ioctl fails with -EINVAL.
