fs/squashfs: sqfs_read: Prevent arbitrary code execution
Following Jincheng's report, an out-of-band write leading to arbitrary
code execution is possible because on one side the squashfs logic
accepts directory names up to 65535 bytes (u16), while U-Boot fs logic
accepts directory names up to 255 bytes long.
Prevent such an exploit from happening by capping directory name sizes
to 255. Use a define for this purpose so that developers can link the
limitation to its source and eventually kill it some day by dynamically
allocating this array (if ever desired).
