Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] ublk: Validate SQE128 flag before accessing the cmd

From: Govindarajulu Varadarajan <govind.varadar@...il.com>

ublk_ctrl_cmd_dump() accesses (header *)sqe->cmd before
IO_URING_F_SQE128 flag check. This could cause out of boundary memory
access.

Move the SQE128 flag check earlier in ublk_ctrl_uring_cmd() to return
-EINVAL immediately if the flag is not set.

Fixes: 71f28f3136af ("ublk_drv: add io_uring based userspace block driver")
