Subject: [PATCH] PCI: prevent out of bounds access in numa_node override

Commit 63692df1 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs") didn't check that
the numa node provided by userspace is valid. Passing a node number too high
would attempt to access invalid memory and trigger a kernel panic.

Fixes: 63692df1 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs")
