  char: hpet: Fix out-of-bounds read bug (2020-01-30 06:58:33 +0100)

Char/Misc fix for 5.6-rc1

Here is a single patch, that fixes up a commit that came in the previous
char/misc merge.

It fixes a bug in the hpet driver that everyone keeps tripping over in
their automated testing.  Good thing is, people are catching it.  Bad
thing it wasn't caught by anyone testing before this.  Oh well...

This has been in linux-next for a few days with no reported issues.
