Subject: [PATCH] tools/power: intel-speed-select:  Fix a read overflow in
 isst_set_tdp_level_msr()

The isst_send_msr_command() function will read 8 bytes but we are
passing an address to an int (4 bytes) so it results in a read overflow.

Fixes: 3fb4f7cd472c ("tools/power/x86: A tool to validate Intel Speed Select commands")
