Subject: [PATCH 5.8 027/633] ALSA: bebob: potential info leak in hwdep_read()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit b41c15f4e1c1f1657da15c482fa837c1b7384452 upstream.

The "count" variable needs to be capped on every path so that we don't
copy too much information to the user.

Fixes: 618eabeae711 ("ALSA: bebob: Add hwdep interface")
