'family' can be a user-controlled value, so sanitize it after the bounds
check to avoid speculative out-of-bounds access.

This is another one where I think it would be better to do the nospec
clamp higher up the call chain.  The untrusted 'family' value comes from
__sock_diag_cmd():

__sock_diag_cmd
  sock_load_diag_module
    sock_is_registered

That function has a bounds check, and also uses the value in some other
array accesses:

	if (req->sdiag_family >= AF_MAX)
		return -EINVAL;

	if (sock_diag_handlers[req->sdiag_family] == NULL)
		sock_load_diag_module(req->sdiag_family, 0);

	mutex_lock(&sock_diag_table_mutex);
	hndl = sock_diag_handlers[req->sdiag_family];
	...

So I think clamping 'req->sdiag_family' right after the bounds check
would be the way to go.
Indeed, the clamp there would cover this clamp. I had a scheme that I
quickly fix all the gadgets in functions with local comparisons, but
clearly that's going to result in call chains with multiple clamps.

I can fix this in a follow-up with a clamp here, or respin this patch
set, whatever is easier for David.
Hi Jeremy,

Just checking up on this... since this patch was merged, will you be
doing a followup patch?
Yes, apologies, I've been traveling. I'll have a patch tomorrow.
