[PATCH v2 4/7] xz: avoid overlapping memcpy() with invalid input with in-place decompression

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

From: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

With valid files, the safety margin described in lib/decompress_unxz.c
ensures that these buffers cannot overlap. But if the uncompressed size
of the input is larger than the caller thought, which is possible when
the input file is invalid/corrupt, the buffers can overlap. Obviously
the result will then be garbage (and usually the decoder will return
an error too) but no other harm will happen when such an over-run occurs.

This change only affects uncompressed LZMA2 chunks and so this
should have no effect on performance.
