x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()
commit 31a2fbb390fee4231281b939e1979e810f945415 upstream. The index to access the threads ptrace_bps is controlled by userspace via syscall: sys_ptrace(), hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. The index can be controlled from: ptrace -> arch_ptrace -> ptrace_get_debugreg. Fix this by sanitizing the user supplied index before using it access thread->ptrace_bps.
