lib/ts_bm: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
The ts_bm algorithm stores its good_shift[] table and pattern in a single allocation sized from the pattern length. If the good_shift[] size calculation wraps, the resulting allocation can be too small and subsequent pattern copies can overflow it. Fix this by rejecting zero-length patterns and by using overflow helpers before calculating the combined allocation size. This fixes a potential heap overflow. The pattern length calculation can wrap during a size_t addition, leading to an undersized allocation. Because the textsearch library is reachable from userspace via Netfilter's xt_string module, this is a security risk that should be backported to LTS kernels.
