[PATCH] char: toshiba: restrict the SMM device to root

[Guo Zihao]

The toshiba misc device is registered without a .mode member:

static struct miscdevice tosh_device = {
	TOSH_MINOR_DEV,
	"toshiba",
	&tosh_fops
};

misc_devnode() only overrides the default when ->mode is non-zero, so
/dev/toshiba is created with the default 0666: every local user can
open it and issue TOSH_SMM ioctls.

tosh_ioctl() copies caller-supplied SMMRegisters into the CPU and
enters System Management Mode via inb $0xb2. The filter in front of
the call only rejects two HCI selectors (ax 0xff00/0xfe00 with
bx > 0x0069), so every other SMM entry point the BIOS offers, along
with caller-chosen register values, is reachable by unprivileged
userspace.

Give the misc device a mode of 0600 so the node is only usable by
root, which is what a ring -2 firmware interface should require.
