The length filed in the chsc response block (if valid)
has a value of n*(sizeof(chp_desc))+8 (for the response
block header). When we memcopied from the response block
to the actual descriptor we copied 8 bytes too much.
The bug was not revealed since the descriptor is embedded
in struct channel_path.
Since we only write one descriptor at a time ignore the
length value and use sizeof(*desc).
