PATCH 1/1 scsi: mptctl: fix potential Spectre v1
karg->hdr.port is 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/message/fusion/mptctl.c:1360 mptctl_getiocinfo() warn: potential spectre issue 'ioc->pfacts' [r]
Fix this by sanitizing karg->hdr.port before indirectly using it to index ioc->pfacts
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].
