Subject: [PATCH 1/3] soc: qcom: mdt_loader: Ensure we don't read past the
 ELF header

When the MDT loader is used in remoteproc, the ELF header is sanitized
beforehand, but that's not necessary the case for other clients.

Validate the size of the firmware buffer to ensure that we don't read
past the end as we iterate over the header.

Fixes: 2aad40d911ee ("remoteproc: Move qcom_mdt_loader into drivers/soc/qcom")
