dns: check length field in tcp response message

The received length field in the message may be greater than the
size of the 'answer' buffer in which the message resides. Currently,
ABUF_SIZE is 768. And if we get a larger 'alens[i]', it will result
in an out-of-bounds reading in __dns_parse().

To fix this, limit the length to the size of the received buffer.
