Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Check the remaining info_cnt before repeating btf fields

When trying to repeat the btf fields for array of nested struct, it
doesn't check the remaining info_cnt. The following splat will be
reported when the value of ret * nelems is greater than BTF_FIELDS_MAX:

------------[ cut here ]------------

Fix it by checking the remaining info_cnt in btf_repeat_fields() before
repeating the btf fields.
