e1000e: fix heap overflow in e1000_set_eeprom
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: e1000e: fix heap overflow in e1000_set_eeprom Fix a possible heap overflow in e1000_set_eeprom function by adding input validation for the requested length of the change in the EEPROM. In addition, change the variable type from int to size_t for better code practices and rearrange declarations to RCT.
