Summary
In the DIOCRSETADDRS ioctl() handler we allocate a table for struct pfr_addrs,
which is processed in pfr_set_addrs(). At the users request we also provide
feedback on the deleted addresses, by storing them after the new list
('bcopy(&ad, addr + size + i, sizeof(ad));' in pfr_set_addrs()).

This means we write outside the bounds of the buffer we've just allocated.
We need to look at pfrio_size2 instead (i.e. the size the user reserved for our
feedback). That'd allow a malicious user to specify a smaller pfrio_size2 than
pfrio_size though, in which case we'd still read outside of the allocated
buffer. Instead we allocate the largest of the two values.
