Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 50/67] arm64: fix possible spectre-v1 write in
 ptrace_hbp_set_event()

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

[ Upstream commit 14d6e289a89780377f8bb09de8926d3c62d763cd ]

It's possible for userspace to control idx. Sanitize idx when using it
as an array index, to inhibit the potential spectre-v1 write gadget.

Found by smatch.
