[PATCH v2] x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()

[Dianzhang Chen]

The index to access the threads ptrace_bps is controlled by userspace
via syscall: sys_ptrace(), hence, hence leading to a potential
exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
The n can be controlled from:
    ptrace -> arch_ptrace -> ptrace_get_debugreg.

Fix this by sanitizing n before using it to index thread->ptrace_bps.
