x86/tls: Fix possible spectre-v1 in do_get_thread_area()
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838467 commit 993773d1 upstream. The index to access the threads tls array is controlled by userspace via syscall: sys_ptrace(), hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. The index can be controlled from: ptrace -> arch_ptrace -> do_get_thread_area. Fix this by sanitizing the user supplied index before using it to access the p->thread.tls_array.
