DF-1370

Unchecked chip-controlled EventDataLength passed to hexdump reads past reply frame

Summary

mps_log_evt_handler at mps.c:1269: hexdump(event->EventData,event->EventDataLength,NULL,0). EventDataLength U16 from DMA reply. No bound vs reply frame size (~96-128 bytes). Length=0xFFFF -> reads 65KB past frame. Kernel heap info leak to console or panic. Sibling of DF-1281 (mpt EventDataLength). Malicious/buggy HBA. Fix: clamp length to ReplyFrameSize*4-offsetof(EventData).
