OVS LLDP support is based on a fork of the lldpd daemon code from
2015.  Several bug fixes have landed upstream since then.  Some
(buffer overflow in management address TLV, TLV ordering/size/
uniqueness validation, duplicate-TLV memory leaks) were already
independently fixed in OVS.

This series backports the four remaining applicable fixes from
upstream lldpd to the OVS fork:

  1/4 - Zero-initialize addr_str_buffer to prevent uninitialized
        memory reads (OSS-Fuzz, upstream 83f0edd).

  2/4 - Reject zero-length management address to prevent unsigned
        underflow of addr_length (upstream 1d55036).

  3/4 - Fix out-of-order TLV warning messages that logged the wrong
        variable and had confusing wording (upstream 8317658).

  4/4 - Don't discard the entire LLDPDU when a single TLV has an
        unknown type, per IEEE 802.1AB-2005 (upstream 314ca27).

Timothy Redaelli (4):
  lldp: Zero-initialize addr_str_buffer in lldp_decode().
  lldp: Reject zero-length management address in lldp_decode().
  lldp: Fix out-of-order TLV warning messages in lldp_decode().
  lldp: Don't discard entire LLDPDU for an unknown TLV type.
