[PATCH 1/2] net/bnxt: fix message-layer bounds and pointer checks

From: Mohammad Shuab Siddique <mohammad-shuab.siddique at broadcom.com>

Fix four medium/low severity issues in the message layer, found by
static analysis.

tfc_msg_idx_tbl_get() used the raw FW-reported resp.data_size in a
memcpy() without capping it to the caller's DMA buffer size, and
dereferenced the caller-supplied dev_data/data_size pointers without
a NULL check. Decode resp.data_size and reject the call if it
exceeds the caller-supplied *data_size, and add an early return with
-EINVAL if dev_data or data_size is NULL.

tfc_msg_if_tbl_get() set rc=-EINVAL on a size mismatch but fell
through to *data_size = resp.data_size and then memcpy()'d that many
bytes into the caller's buffer anyway. Return early on error, and
decode resp.data_size before assigning it to *data_size.

tfc_msg_idx_tbl_alloc_set() and tfc_msg_idx_tbl_set() dereferenced
the caller-supplied dev_data pointer without a NULL check. Add an
early return with -EINVAL if dev_data is NULL.
