3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit a0341fc1981a950c1e902ab901e98f60e0e243f3 upstream.
This read handler had a lot of custom logic and wrote outside the bounds of the provided buffer. This could lead to kernel and userspace memory corruption. Just use simple_read_from_buffer() with a stack buffer.
