Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/edid: In connector_bad_edid() cap num_of_ext by num_blocks read

In commit e11f5bd8228f ("drm: Add support for DP 1.4 Compliance edid
corruption test") the function connector_bad_edid() started assuming
that the memory for the EDID passed to it was big enough to hold
`edid[0x7e] + 1` blocks of data (1 extra for the base block). It
completely ignored the fact that the function was passed `num_blocks`
which indicated how much memory had been allocated for the EDID.

Let's fix this by adding a bounds check.

This is important for handling the case where there's an error in the
first block of the EDID. In that case we will call
connector_bad_edid() without having re-allocated memory based on
`edid[0x7e]`.

This problem report came up in the context of a patch I sent out [1]
and this is my attempt at a fix. The problem predates my patch,
though. I don't personally know anything about DP compliance testing
and what should be happening here, nor do I apparently have any
hardware that actually reports a bad EDID. Thus this is just compile
tested. I'm hoping that someone here can test this and make sure it
seems OK to them.

Changes in v2:
- Added a comment/changed math to help make it easier to grok.
