syzbot reports:
detected buffer overflow in strlen
[..]
Call Trace:
 strlen include/linux/string.h:325 [inline]
 strlcpy include/linux/string.h:348 [inline]
 xt_rateest_tg_checkentry+0x2a5/0x6b0 net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c:143

strlcpy assumes src is a c-string. Check info->name before its used.

Reported-by: syzbot+e86f7c428c8c50db65b4@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: 5859034d7eb8793 ("[NETFILTER]: x_tables: add RATEEST target")
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
---
RATEEST test in iptables.git still passes, syzbot repro setsockopt
fails with -ENAMETOOLONG.

If strlcpy is the only problem, then the fix is to use strscpy(),
which doesn't have the design mistake that strlcpy has.

Of course, if the size limit of the source and the destination differ
(ie if you really want to limit the source to one thing, and the
destination to another - there are in theory valid cases where that
happens), then there are no useful helper functions for that.

It would silence the reproducer, but the checkentry function calls
__xt_rateest_lookup which may 'strcmp(..., maybe_not_zero_terminated)'.

Applied, thanks Florian.
