[xenial][CVE-2016-4568] [media] videobuf2-v4l2: Verify planes array in buffer dequeueing

From: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus at linux.intel.com>

When a buffer is being dequeued using VIDIOC_DQBUF IOCTL, the exact buffer
which will be dequeued is not known until the buffer has been removed from
the queue. The number of planes is specific to a buffer, not to the queue.

This does lead to the situation where multi-plane buffers may be requested
and queued with n planes, but VIDIOC_DQBUF IOCTL may be passed an argument
struct with fewer planes.

__fill_v4l2_buffer() however uses the number of planes from the dequeued
videobuf2 buffer, overwriting kernel memory (the m.planes array allocated
in video_usercopy() in v4l2-ioctl.c)  if the user provided fewer
planes than the dequeued buffer had. Oops!

Fixes: b0e0e1f83de3 ("[media] media: videobuf2: Prepare to divide videobuf2")
