drivers/misc/sgi-gru: fix Spectre v1 vulnerability
req.gid can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: vers/misc/sgi-gru/grukdump.c:200 gru_dump_chiplet_request() warn: potential spectre issue 'gru_base' [w] Fix this by sanitizing req.gid before calling macro GID_TO_GRU, which uses it to index gru_base. Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
