Subject: char: lp: fix possible integer overflow in lp_setup()

From: Willy Tarreau <[email protected]>

commit 3e21f4af170bebf47c187c1ff8bf155583c9f3b1 upstream.

The lp_setup() code doesn't apply any bounds checking when passing "lp=none", and only in this case, resulting in an overflow of the parport_nr[] array. All versions in Git history are affected.
