gpg: Fix possible read of unallocated memory 

* g10/parse-packet.c (can_handle_critical): Check content length
before calling can_handle_critical_notation.
--

The problem was found by Jan Bee and gniibe proposed the used fix.
Thanks.

This bug can't be exploited: Only if the announced length of the
notation is 21 or 32 a memcmp against fixed strings using that length
would be done.  The compared data is followed by the actual signature
and thus it is highly likely that not even read of unallocated memory
will happen.  Nevertheless such a bug needs to be fixed.
