5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bjoern Doebel <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 22b8fbded65b8c441b634a185f8da67657df6c50 ]

get_srq_wqe() reads wqe->dma.num_sge from the shared receive queue
buffer, which is mapped into userspace. It validates num_sge against
max_sge, but then re-reads the same field to calculate the memcpy
size. A concurrent userspace thread can modify num_sge between
validation and use, causing a heap buffer overflow when copying the
WQE into qp->resp.srq_wqe.

Read num_sge into a local variable and use it for both the bounds
check and the size calculation.
