netrom: fix info-leak in nr_write_internal()

[ Upstream commit 31642e7089 ]

Simon Kapadia reported the following issue:

The Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) has recently been experimenting
with building a nationwide packet network in the UK.
As part of our experimentation, we have been testing out packet on 300bps HF,
and playing with net/rom.  For HF packet at this baud rate you really need
to make sure that your MTU is relatively low; AX.25 suggests a PACLEN of 60,
and a net/rom PACLEN of 40 to go with that.
However the Linux net/rom support didn't work with a low PACLEN;
the mkiss module would truncate packets if you set the PACLEN below about 200 or so, e.g.:

Apr 19 14:00:51 radio kernel: [12985.747310] mkiss: ax1: truncating oversized transmit packet!

This didn't make any sense to me (if the packets are smaller why would they
be truncated?) so I started investigating.
I looked at the packets using ethereal, and found that many were just huge
compared to what I would expect.
A simple net/rom connection request packet had the request and then a bunch
of what appeared to be random data following it:

Simon provided a patch that I slightly revised:
Not only we must not use skb_tailroom(), we also do
not want to count NR_NETWORK_LEN twice.
