Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/nvram: fix segmentation fault issue in print-config

print-config option in nvram results in segmentation fault when the
user provides a very large value.

without the patch:
[root@xxx powerpc-utils]# nvram --print-config=real-mode?
true
[root@xxx powerpc-utils]# nvram --print-config=$(perl -e 'p
rint "A"x1000000')
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The Segmentation fault occurs because the code tries to access memory
beyond the bounds of the data at index varlen. varlen is the length of
the string provided by the user.

This patch adds a condition to check whether the length of the data is
greater than varlen to prevent accessing out of bounds.

with the patch:
[root@xxx powerpc-utils]# ./src/nvram --print-config=real-m
ode?
true
[root@xxx powerpc-utils]# ./src/nvram --print-config=$(perl
 -e 'print "A"x1000000')
