drm/i915/kvmgt: Fix potential Spectre v1
commit de5372da605d3bca46e3102bab51b7e1c0e0a6f6 upstream.
info.index can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading
to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt.c:1232 intel_vgpu_ioctl() warn:
potential spectre issue 'vgpu->vdev.region' [r]
Fix this by sanitizing info.index before indirectly using it to index
vgpu->vdev.region
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
