net: DCB: Validate DCB_ATTR_DCB_BUFFER argument
[ Upstream commit 297e77e53eadb332d5062913447b104a772dc33b ]
The parameter passed via DCB_ATTR_DCB_BUFFER is a struct dcbnl_buffer. The
field prio2buffer is an array of IEEE_8021Q_MAX_PRIORITIES bytes, where
each value is a number of a buffer to direct that priority's traffic to.
That value is however never validated to lie within the bounds set by
DCBX_MAX_BUFFERS. The only driver that currently implements the callback is
mlx5 (maintainers CCd), and that does not do any validation either, in
particual allowing incorrect configuration if the prio2buffer value does
not fit into 4 bits.
Instead of offloading the need to validate the buffer index to drivers, do
it right there in core, and bounce the request if the value is too large.
