smackfs: do not trust `count' in inodes write()s

Smackfs write() implementation does not put a higher bound on the number of
bytes to copy from user-space.  This may lead to a DOS attack if a malicious
`count' field is given.

Assure that given `count' is exactly the length needed for a /smack/load rule.
 In case of /smack/cipso where the length is relative, assure that `count'
does not exceed the size needed for a buffer representing maximum possible
number of CIPSO 2.2 categories.
