Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 93cbf6d80d Revert "nfc/nci: Add the inconsistency check between the input data length and count"
commit f40ddcc0c0 upstream.

This reverts commit 068648aab7.

NFC packets may have NUL-bytes. Checking for string length is not a correct
assumption here. As long as there is a check for the length copied from
copy_from_user, all should be fine.

The fix only prevented the syzbot reproducer from triggering the bug
because the packet is not enqueued anymore and the code that triggers the
bug is not exercised.

The fix even broke
testing/selftests/nci/nci_dev, making all tests there fail. After the
revert, 6 out of 8 tests pass.

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.
