[PATCH 2/2] KVM: arm/arm64: check IRQ number on userland injection

From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara at arm.com>

When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
actually be smaller (64).
So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
-----------------
....
DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = ffffffc07652e000
[00000000] *pgd=00000000f658b003, *pud=00000000f658b003, *pmd=0000000000000000

.....

So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
127 in the ioctl code.
