CVE-2024-42130: nfc/nci: Add the inconsistency check between the input data length and count

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

nfc/nci: Add the inconsistency check between the input data length and count

write$nci(r0, &(0x7f0000000740)=ANY=[@ANYBLOB="610501"], 0xf)

Syzbot constructed a write() call with a data length of 3 bytes but a count value of 15, which passed too little data to meet the basic requirements of the function ncirfintfactivatedntfpacket().

Therefore, increasing the comparison between data length and count value to avoid problems caused by inconsistent data length and count.
