Subject: PCI: Prevent out of bounds access in numa_node override

From: Sasha Levin <[email protected]>

commit 1266963170f576d4d08e6310b6963e26d3ff9d1e upstream.

63692df103e9 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs") didn't check that the numa node provided by userspace is valid. Passing a node number too high would attempt to access invalid memory and trigger a kernel panic.
