lib/xz: Avoid overlapping memcpy() with invalid input with in-place decompression
[ Upstream commit 83d3c4f22a36d005b55f44628f46cc0d319a75e8 ] With valid files, the safety margin described in lib/decompress_unxz.c ensures that these buffers cannot overlap. But if the uncompressed size of the input is larger than the caller thought, which is possible when the input file is invalid/corrupt, the buffers can overlap. Obviously the result will then be garbage (and usually the decoder will return an error too) but no other harm will happen when such an over-run occurs. This change only affects uncompressed LZMA2 chunks and so this should have no effect on performance.
