Subject: [PATCH net] ethtool: fix stack overflow in ethnl_parse_bitset()

Syzbot reported a stack overflow in bitmap_from_arr32() called from
ethnl_parse_bitset() when bitset from netlink message is longer than
target bitmap length. While ethnl_compact_sanity_checks() makes sure that
trailing part is all zeros (i.e. the request does not try to touch bits
kernel does not recognize), we also need to cap change_bits to nbits so
that we don't try to write past the prepared bitmaps.

Fixes: 88db6d1e4f62 ("ethtool: add ethnl_parse_bitset() helper")

Applied, thank you!
