#1461974 — [PATCH 3.16 217/305] IB/mlx4: Verify port number in flow steering create flow

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yishai Hadas <yishaih@mellanox.com>

commit 5533c18ab02b17a7f2ac11908e2d97d4b421617d upstream.

In procedure mlx4_ib_create_flow, passing an invalid port number
will cause an out-of-bounds array access. Data passed to this procedure
can come from user-space.  Therefore, need to validate port number
before proceeding onwards.

Note that we check against the number of physical ports declared at
the verbs (ib core) level; When bonding is active, the verbs level
sees one physical port, even though the low-level driver sees two ports.
