Subject: [PATCH 5.5 47/80] drivers: ipmi: fix off-by-one bounds check that leads to a out-of-bounds write

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit e0354d147e5889b5faa12e64fa38187aed39aad4 upstream.

The end of buffer check is off-by-one since the check is against
an index that is pre-incremented before a store to buf[]. Fix this
adjusting the bounds check appropriately.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Out-of-bounds write")
Fixes: 51bd6f291583 ("Add support for IPMB driver")
