port 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:

drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c:1360 mptctl_getiocinfo() warn:
potential spectre issue 'ioc->pfacts'

Fix this by sanitizing port before using it to index ioc->pfacts

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].
