Subject: [PATCH 06/11] rcar-v4l2: fix potential Spectre variant 1

f->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Smatch warning:
drivers/media/platform/rcar-vin/rcar-v4l2.c:344 rvin_enum_fmt_vid_cap() warn: potential spectre issue 'rvin_formats'

Fix this by sanitizing f->index before using it to index
rvin_formats.

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].
