[SCSI] lpfc: fix oops when parsing dodgy VPD
We have seen two cases where VPD on an emulex card has been incorrect and we end up walking off the end of memory. It looks like someone made an update (increased the length of a string) without increasing the Length field. Then we do: Length -= (3+i); And since Length is unsigned it becomes very large and we loop forever in the encapsulating: while (Length > 0) { If we make Length signed then we fall out of the loop and proceed on. Its important to note we have only seen this in the lab and it may be the only two cases of this in existence, but since the rest of the code has been written to be resilient against bad VPD we may as well fix this too.
