We get 'alen' from command its type is int. If userspace passes a large
length we will get a negative 'alen'.

Switch n, alen, and rlen to u32.

[Backport]

There was one conflict due to missing a large feature patch, but the
conflict was unrelated to the missing feature and was for the most
part a no-op difference. It was resolved by leaving the patch unmodified
and overwriting that section of the function.

[Fix]

Oracular:	not affected
Noble:		not affected
Jammy:		not affected
Focal:		backport
Bionic:		sent to ESM ML
Xenial:		sent to ESM ML
Trusty:		won't fix

[Test Case]

Compile and boot tested

[Where problems could occur]

This fix affects those who use the SCSI debugging host and device
simulator. An issue with this fix would be visible to the user as an out
of bounds memory read.
