[PATCH v2] net/bnxt: add bounds checks for FW-supplied IDs

From: Joseph Wong <joseph.wong at broadcom.com>

In ulp_port_db_port_update(), firmware supplies IDs (drv_func_id,
vf_func_id, phy_port_id) which are used as array indices. Add
strict bounds checking to prevent out of bounds memory accesses.

Fixes: 45e8e1d406b7 ("net/bnxt: enhance port DB")

v2:
 - Fixes tag corrected to 45e8e1d406b7; the previous three tags did not introduce the unchecked indexing
 - Use %u for the unsigned values in the new log messages
 - Check phy_port_id before the parent vnic and MAC address updates
