Fixes JuliaLang/LinearAlgebra.jl#1001, where the tests for MultiScaleArrays.jl causes a segfault.

  1. The primary cause is that getrs! does not ensure length(ipiv) == n before LAPACK call, leading to a segfault.
  2. The secondary cause is that MultiScaleArrays.jl (or one of its dependents) is utilizing LU(factor, ipiv, info) with incompatible sizes for factor and ipiv, which, together with 1. above, causes a segfault.

Fix:

  1. Implement a check in getrs! and raise DimensionMismatch if length(ipiv) != n.
  2. Note: A fix in the wrapper LU(factor, ipiv, info) does not seem feasible as it handles square, thin, and thick matrices with varying ipiv lengths.

Unit test: Test case added to LinearAlgebra/test/lapack.jl to require DimensionMismatch if length(ipiv) != n.
