Subject: [PATCH] tty: vt: keyboard: add range check to kbs->kb_func index

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

A value outside the range 0..MAX_NR_FUNC-1 in kbs->kb_func will
cause an array bounds overflow on func_table. Fix this by adding
a range check.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#401961 ("Untrusted array index read")

Fixes: 079c9534a96d ("vt:tackle kbd_table")
