ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely
commit
4ab42d78e37a294ac7bc56901d563c642e03c4ae upstream.
Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots
as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will
dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799).
Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an
ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL. Change the callers accordingly.
Compile-tested only.
