can: Fix data length code handling in rx path
A valid CAN dataframe can have a data length code (DLC) of 0 .. 8 data bytes.
When reading the CAN controllers register the 4-bit value may contain values
from 0 .. 15 which may exceed the reserved space in the socket buffer!
The ISO 11898-1 Chapter 8.4.2.3 (DLC field) says that register values > 8
should be reduced to 8 without any error reporting or frame drop.
This patch introduces a new helper macro to cast a given 4-bit data length
code (dlc) to __u8 and ensure the DLC value to be max. 8 bytes.
The different handlings in the rx path of the CAN netdevice drivers are fixed.
