[PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Fix snd_pcm_hw_params struct copy in compat mode

[Nicolas Boichat]

Running a kernel with KASan enabled, we spotted that the following
read in sound/soc/soc-pcm.c:soc_pcm_hw_params() is out of bounds:

		/* copy params for each codec */
		codec_params = *params;

The problem comes from sound/core/pcm_compat.c,
snd_pcm_ioctl_hw_params_compat, where we're copying from a
struct snd_pcm_hw_params to a struct snd_pcm_hw_params32:

	/* only fifo_size is different, so just copy all */
	data = memdup_user(data32, sizeof(*data32));

It turns out that snd_pcm_hw_params is 4 bytes longer than
snd_pcm_hw_params32, that's why an out-of-bounds read happens.

We separate kmalloc and memory copy operations to make sure
data has the correct length.
