[PATCH] Smack: check length in smk_set_cipso()

It's possible to trigger out-of-bounds read in smk_set_cipso().
For example (from root):
$ echo "test 1" > /sys/fs/smackfs/cipso2
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vsscanf+0x2203/0x2990
Read of size 1 at addr ffff888061b023c9 by task bash/5578

The patch adds length checks for SMK_LONG_FMT format.

The bug was found by syzkaller.
