[PATCH] net: wwan: iosm: validate msg_head before indexing msg_ring

lkml, stable
From: Liu Chao <redacted>

ipc_protocol_free_msg_get() reads msg_head from shared memory and
uses it directly as an index into msg_ring[]. If the head is out
of range, the subsequent memset() writes beyond the message ring.

Validate head against IPC_MEM_MSG_ENTRIES before using it as an
index. The ring is a circular buffer, so a value outside the valid
range indicates a corrupted head pointer; report the error and fail
the allocation instead of writing out of bounds.

Fixes: 64516f633bfd ("net: iosm: protocol operations")
