net: dhcpv6: Prevent out-of-bounds reads while parsing options

dhcp6_parse_options() verifies that an option's declared data fits
within the packet, but does not check that option_len is large
enough for the fixed-size read each case performs. A malicious
DHCP server can send an ADVERTISE with a zero-length IA_NA,
STATUS_CODE, SOL_MAX_RT, or BOOTFILE_PARAM option, causing the
parser to read 2-4 bytes past the option's declared data.

Check option_len value before each dereference of option_ptr.
