Fix an issue detected by syzbot with KASAN:

BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in acpi_nfit_ctl+0x20e8/0x24a0
drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c:459

The issue occurs in cmd_to_func when the call_pkg->nd_reserved2
array is accessed without verifying that call_pkg points to a buffer
that is appropriately sized as a struct nd_cmd_pkg. This can lead
to out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior if the buffer does not
have sufficient space.

To address this, a check was added in acpi_nfit_ctl() to ensure that
buf is not NULL and that buf_len is less than sizeof(*call_pkg)
before accessing it. This ensures safe access to the members of
call_pkg, including the nd_reserved2 array.

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241111080429.9861-1-surajsonawane0215@xxxxxxxxx/
V2: Initialized `out_obj` to `NULL` in `acpi_nfit_ctl()` to prevent
potential uninitialized variable usage if condition is true.
V3: Changed the condition to if (!buf || buf_len < sizeof(*call_pkg))
and updated the Fixes tag to reference the correct commit.
V4: Removed the explicit cast to maintain the original code style.

This goto is wrong. This will result in ACPI_FREE() being called on an
undefined out_obj.

This should be:
return -EINVAL;

Thanks for catching that. You’re correct about the goto issue. I had initialized out_obj to NULL in previous versions but missed it in this patch. In v5, I’ve re-initialized out_obj to NULL, to avoid unintended access. Here’s the updated patch link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241116114027.19303-1-surajsonawane0215@xxxxxxxxx/
