Subject: [PATCH 4.14 029/143] nl80211: Fix possible Spectre-v1 for CQM RSSI thresholds

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 1222a16014888ed9733c11e221730d4a8196222b ]

Use array_index_nospec() to sanitize i with respect to speculation.

Note that the user doesn't control i directly, but can make it out
of bounds by not finding a threshold in the array.

[add note about user control, as explained by Masashi]
