i2c-dev.c utilizes memdup_user() to copy a userspace array. This is done
without an overflow check.
Use the new wrapper memdup_array_user() to copy the array more safely.

The i2cdev_{at,de}tach_adapter() callbacks are used for two purposes:
1. As notifier callbacks, when (un)registering I2C adapters created or
destroyed after i2c_dev_init(),
2. As bus iterator callbacks, for registering already existing
adapters from i2c_dev_init(), and for cleanup.
Unfortunately both use cases expect different return values: the former
expects NOTIFY_* return codes, while the latter expects zero or error
codes, and aborts in case of error.
Hence in case 2, as soon as i2cdev_{at,de}tach_adapter() returns
(non-zero) NOTIFY_OK, the bus iterator aborts. This causes (a) only the
first already existing adapter to be registered, leading to missing
/dev/i2c-* entries, and (b) a failure to unregister all but the first
I2C adapter during cleanup.
Fix this by introducing separate callbacks for the bus iterator,
wrapping the notifier functions, and always returning succes.
Any errors inside these callback functions are unlikely to happen, and
are fatal anyway.

If an i2c driver happens to not provide the full amount of data that a
user asks for, it is possible that some uninitialized data could be sent
to userspace. While all in-kernel drivers look to be safe, just be sure
by initializing the buffer to zero before it is passed to the i2c driver
so that any future drivers will not have this issue.
Also properly copy the amount of data recvieved to the userspace buffer,
as pointed out by Dan Carpenter.

i2c-dev had never moved away from the older register_chrdev interface to
implement its char device registration. The register_chrdev API has the
limitation of enabling only up to 256 i2c-dev busses to exist.
Large platforms with lots of i2c devices (i.e. pluggable transceivers)
with dedicated busses may have to exceed that limit.
In particular, there are also platforms making use of the i2c bus
multiplexing API, which instantiates a virtual bus for each possible
multiplexed selection.
This patch removes the register_chrdev usage and replaces it with the
less old cdev API, which takes away the 256 i2c-dev bus limitation.
It should not have any other impact for i2c bus drivers or user space.
This patch has been tested on qemu x86 and qemu powerpc platforms with
the aid of a module which adds and removes 5000 virtual i2c busses, as
well as validated on an existing powerpc hardware platform which makes
use of the i2c bus multiplexing API.
i2c-dev busses with device minor numbers larger than 256 have also been
validated to work with the existing i2c-tools.

As the bus driver side implementation of I2C_M_RECV_LEN is heavily
tied to SMBus, we can't support received length over 32 bytes, but
let's at least support that.
In practice, the caller will have to setup a buffer large enough to
cover the case where received length byte has value 32, so minimum
32 + 1 = 33 bytes, possibly more if there is a fixed number of bytes
added for the specific slave (for example a checksum.)
