SUNRPC: harden gss_krb5_unwrap_v2 against short tokens
gss_krb5_unwrap_v2() reads the EC and RRC header fields at ptr+4 and ptr+6 before validating that the token is at least GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN (16) bytes long, and its rotate_left() helper passes buf->len - base to xdr_buf_subsegment() without verifying that base <= buf->len. When a caller hands in a sub-16-byte token, or a token whose declared len leaves base past the end of the buffer, three distinct failures follow:

After decryption, the cleanup arithmetic has the same shape:
The BUG_ON re-adds the value just subtracted, so it reduces to min(A, B) > A and is permanently false; it cannot catch the unsigned underflow of movelen, which then drives a ~UINT_MAX-byte memmove().
Add four defense-in-depth guards inside the unwrap core so it is safe regardless of what its callers validate:
- reject tokens with len - offset < GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN before touching ptr+4/ptr+6;
- bail from rotate_left() when buf->len <= base, covering both the underflow and zero-length cases;
- return early from _rotate_left() when buf->len is zero, so the shift %= buf->len modulo cannot fault;
- replace the dead BUG_ON with a live check that returns GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN before the movelen subtraction.
