Subject: [RFC PATCH] rpmsg: glink: Add bounds check on tx path

Add bounds check on values read from shared memory in the tx path. In
cases where the VM is misbehaving, the transport should exit and print a
warning when bogus values may cause out of bounds to be read.

Why RFC? The patch is adopted from the link above. It would be good to
asses whether such conditions can also happen with rpmsg glink.
(And if so, whether the zeroed values are the best correction.)
