drm: Use size_t type for len variable in drm_copy_field()



[ Upstream commit 94dc3471d1b2b58b3728558d0e3f264e9ce6ff59 ]

The strlen() function returns a size_t which is an unsigned int on 32-bit
arches and an unsigned long on 64-bit arches. But in the drm_copy_field()
function, the strlen() return value is assigned to an 'int len' variable.

Later, the len variable is passed as copy_from_user() third argument that
is an unsigned long parameter as well.

In theory, this can lead to an integer overflow via type conversion. Since
the assignment happens to a signed int lvalue instead of a size_t lvalue.

In practice though, that's unlikely since the values copied are set by DRM
drivers and not controlled by userspace. But using a size_t for len is the
correct thing to do anyways.
