openvswitch: cap upcall PID array size and pre-size vport replies
The vport netlink reply helpers allocate a fixed-size skb with
nlmsg_new(NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE, ...) but serialize the full upcall PID
array via ovs_vport_get_upcall_portids(). Since
ovs_vport_set_upcall_portids() accepts any non-zero multiple of
sizeof(u32) with no upper bound, a CAP_NET_ADMIN user can install a PID
array large enough to overflow the reply buffer, causing nla_put() to
fail with -EMSGSIZE and hitting BUG_ON(err < 0). On systems with
unprivileged user namespaces enabled (e.g., Ubuntu default), this is
reachable via unshare -Urn since OVS vport mutation operations use
GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Reject attempts to set more PIDs than nr_cpu_ids in
ovs_vport_set_upcall_portids(), and pre-compute the worst-case reply
size in ovs_vport_cmd_msg_size() based on that bound, similar to the
existing ovs_dp_cmd_msg_size(). nr_cpu_ids matches the cap already
used by the per-CPU dispatch configuration on the datapath side
(ovs_dp_cmd_fill_info() serialises at most nr_cpu_ids PIDs), so the
two sides stay consistent.
Fixes: 5cd667b0a456 ("openvswitch: Allow each vport to have an array of 'port_id's.")
