Fix out of bounds read in blobmsg_parse and blobmsg_check_name. The
out of bounds read happens because blob_attr and blobmsg_hdr have
flexible array members, whose size is 0 in the corresponding sizeofs.
For example the __blob_for_each_attr macro checks whether rem >=
sizeof(struct blob_attr). However, what LibFuzzer discovered was,
if the input data was only 4 bytes, the data would be casted to blob_attr,
and later on blob_data(attr) would be called even though attr->data was empty.
The same issue could appear with data larger than 4 bytes, where data
wasn't empty, but contained only the start of the blobmsg_hdr struct,
and blobmsg_hdr name was empty. The bugs were discovered by fuzzing
blobmsg_parse and blobmsg_array_parse with LibFuzzer.
