There are two bug in this code:
1) If count is zero, then it will lead to a NULL dereference.  The
   kmalloc() will successfully allocate zero bytes and the test for
   "if (buf[0] == '-')" will read beyond the end of the zero size buffer
   and Oops.
2) The code does not ensure that the user's string is properly NUL
   terminated which could lead to a read overflow.

Fixes: a9996d722b11 ("scsi: scsi_debug: Add interface to manage error injection for a single device")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>

v2: At first I tried to use strndup_user() but that only accepts NUL
    terminated strings and the user string is normally not terminated.

Looks good,

Applied 1+2 to 6.7/scsi-staging, thanks!
