netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow
'buffer' string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul(). Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes. It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
