mac80211_hwsim: Fix possible Spectre-v1 for hwsim_world_regdom_custom
User controls @idx which to be used as index of hwsim_world_regdom_custom. So, It can be exploited via Spectre-like attack. (speculative execution) This kind of attack leaks address of hwsim_world_regdom_custom, It leads an attacker to bypass security mechanism such as KASLR. So sanitize @idx before using it to prevent attack. I leveraged strategy [1] to find and exploit this gadget.
