fspread: fix buffer overflow

Without this fix, fspread is trusting the server to return as much
data as requested, or less. If a server responds with more data
though, fspread writes beyond the bounds of the buffer to fill, which
is passed in by the caller. It depends on the caller of fspread()
where that buffer is, so there are various possible attack vectors.

In the Plan9 kernel, I found this implemented in devmnt.c, where
overly large responses are truncated to the size requested before
copying, so I assume that this strategy works here too.

This also affects fsread() and fsreadn(), which are based on
fspread().
