staging: lustre: llite: fix potential missing-check bug when copying lumv

In ll_dir_ioctl(), the object lumv3 is firstly copied from the user space
using Its address, i.e., lumv1 = &lumv3. If the lmm_magic field of lumv3 is
LOV_USER_MAGIC_V3, lumv3 will be modified by the second copy from the user
space. The second copy is necessary, because the two versions (i.e.,
lov_user_md_v1 and lov_user_md_v3) have different data formats and lengths.
However, given that the user data resides in the user space, a malicious
user-space process can race to change the data between the two copies. By
doing so, the attacker can provide a data with an inconsistent version,
e.g., v1 version + v3 data. This can lead to logical errors in the
following execution in ll_dir_setstripe(), which performs different actions
according to the version specified by the field lmm_magic.

This patch rechecks the version field lmm_magic in the second copy.  If the
version is not as expected, i.e., LOV_USER_MAGIC_V3, an error code will be
returned: -EINVAL.
