Eiichi Tsukata 33d4a5a7a5 cpu/hotplug: Fix out-of-bounds read when setting fail state
Setting invalid value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/hotplug/fail
can control `struct cpuhp_step *sp` address, results in the following
global-out-of-bounds read.

Reproducer:

  # echo -2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hotplug/fail

KASAN report:

  BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in write_cpuhp_fail+0x2cd/0x2e0
  Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff89734438 by task bash/1941

  The buggy address belongs to the variable:

Add a sanity check for the value written from user space.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
