I was reviewing the H.323 conntrack helper in the kernel when I came
across what appears to be an off-by-one error in the DecodeQ931
function. The MessageType field of the Q931 record is assigned and p
is incremented, but the corresponding decrement to sz is missing,
leading the sz variable to be one more than it should be. This patch
decrements sz so it is the proper value going into the parsing of the
information elements.

Looks correct, BUT

sz can be 1

sz is now 0

-> sz (size_t) will underflow here

I'd suggest to change the if (sz < 1) to if (sz < 2) to
resolve this, the while loop below has to be taken anyway.
