hwmon: (aquacomputer_d5next) valid the data size before reading the sensor data
This commit adds a data size check for sensor readings in the
aquacomputer_d5next driver to prevent out-of-bounds memory accesses when
processing truncated HID reports.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since this patch aims to fix out-of-bounds
reads during report processing, is it safe to leave special-case sensor
readings unvalidated?
If a malicious USB device presenting as leakshield, highflownext, or
aquastreamult sends a truncated HID report, it could pass this new generic
validation but still be too small for the special-case fields accessed later.
For example, in aqc_raw_event():
drivers/hwmon/aquacomputer_d5next.c:aqc_raw_event() {
...
switch (priv->kind) {
...
case leakshield:
priv->speed_input[0] =
((s16)get_unaligned_be16(data + LEAKSHIELD_PRESSURE_ADJUSTED)) * 100;
...
}
Could this lead to another slab-out-of-bounds read if the report is too small
to contain these offsets?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does skipping this validation when
priv->fan_structure is NULL expose a NULL pointer dereference later in
aqc_raw_event()?
For devices like aquastreamxt, priv->fan_structure is NULL but priv->num_fans
is greater than 0. Later in aqc_raw_event(), the code loops over num_fans and
unconditionally dereferences fan_structure:
drivers/hwmon/aquacomputer_d5next.c:aqc_raw_event() {
...
/* Fan speed and related readings */
for (i = 0; i < priv->num_fans; i++) {
priv->speed_input[i] =
get_unaligned_be16(data + priv->fan_sensor_offsets[i] +
priv->fan_structure->speed);
...
}
Could this crash the kernel if a malicious USB device sends a status report
for such a device?
