Fix some minor LLM findings related to the zcrypt device driver.
Changelog:
v1: Two patches:
- The first patch fixes a gap related to speculative execution
with the domain index.
- The second patch fixes a length/pointer check with parsing the
FQ reply from a CCA card.

The previous array_index_nospec() placement only covered the admin
permission check, leaving ap_test_config_usage_domain() and
ap_test_config_ctrl_domain() in the CCA path exposed to speculative
execution.
Move the sanitization to before all permission and config checks in
both the CCA and EP11 paths so a single call covers all downstream
uses of the domain index.

The FQ reply parser code blindly advanced the walk pointer by a length
value read directly from the hardware reply payload without checking
that the advance stayed within the allocated reply buffer. A corrupt
or malicious device response could push ptr beyond the cprbmem region,
causing an out-of-bounds dereference or kernel memory exposure via the
subsequent memcpy().
Fix this by tracking the remaining reply buffer space in a variable
and validating each device-supplied length field against it before
advancing or dereferencing the pointer.

s390/zcrypt: Guard domain index uses against speculative bypass
This patch moves the array_index_nospec() sanitization for the domain index
to earlier in the CCA and EP11 paths. This aims to ensure a single call
covers all downstream uses of the index and prevents speculative execution
bypasses.

[Severity: High]
Does calling array_index_nospec() before the architectural bounds check cause
invalid domains to be silently routed to domain 0?
If a user issues an ioctl with a domain >= AP_DOMAINS, array_index_nospec()
will clamp the out-of-bounds index to 0. The subsequent check for
domain < AP_DOMAINS will then evaluate 0 < AP_DOMAINS, causing the operation
to proceed on domain 0 instead of rejecting the invalid input.

[Severity: High]
Does this code have the same bounds checking issue here in the EP11 path?
An invalid domain >= AP_DOMAINS could be similarly clamped to 0 and pass the
subsequent bounds check, executing on the wrong domain.
