Subject: [PATCH V4] hippi: fix possible buffer overflow caused by bad DMA value in rr_start_xmit()

The value rrpriv->info->tx_ctrl is stored in DMA memory, and assigned to
txctrl. However, txctrl->pi can be modified by malicious hardware at any
time. Because txctrl->pi is assigned to index, buffer overflow may
occur when the code "rrpriv->tx_skbuff[index]" is executed.

To address this issue, ensure index is checked.

Fixes: f33a7251c825 ("hippi: switch from 'pci_' to 'dma_' API")

V2:
* In patch V2, we remove the first condition in if statement and use
  netdev_err() instead of printk().
  Thanks Paolo Abeni for helpful advice.
V3:
* In patch V3, we stop the queue before return BUSY.
  Thanks to Jakub Kicinski for his advice.
V4:
* In patch V4, we revise the wording in the description.
  Thanks to Markus Elfring for pointing this out.
