If the packet returned from the gdbserver is too long,
the stack would be clobbered and gdb would crash.

gdb/
	* remote.c (remote_target::fetch_register_using_p): Error if
	more data is received than expected in the packet.

I am adding SVE support to QEMU's gdbserver stub, and managed to
tickle this bug in the process.

Hi Richard,

As a user, I don't think I would understand "late buf termination".  I 
think it could be more straightforward, like "the received value is 
larger than the register size".

Otherwise, this is OK, thanks for this.
