[PATCH] libahci: Fix possible Spectre-v1 pmp indexing in ahci_led_store()

[PATCH] libahci: Fix possible Spectre-v1 pmp indexing in ahci_led_store()

[John Garry]

Currently smatch warns of possible Spectre-V1 issue in ahci_led_store():
drivers/ata/libahci.c:1150 ahci_led_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'pp->em_priv' (local cap)

Userspace controls @pmp from following callchain:
em_message->store()
->ata_scsi_em_message_store()
-->ap->ops->em_store()
--->ahci_led_store()

After the mask+shift @pmp is effectively an 8b value, which is used to
index into an array of length 8, so sanitize the array index.

Applied to libata/for-4.18-fixes.

Thanks.
