Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 254/254] dell-wmi: Fix access out of memory

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Pali=20Roh=C3=A1r?= <pali.rohar@...il.com>

commit a666b6ffbc9b6705a3ced704f52c3fe9ea8bf959 upstream.

Without this patch, dell-wmi is trying to access elements of dynamically
allocated array without checking the array size. This can lead to memory
corruption or a kernel panic. This patch adds the missing checks for
array size.
