em_create_pd() allocates space for the trailing cpus[] flexible array
only for CPU devices. A performance domain registered for another
device therefore has no storage for its cpumask.
All performance domains are added to em_pd_list. The netlink interface
does not distinguish CPU and non-CPU domains when it calls
cpumask_weight() or iterates over pd->cpus. A request for a non-CPU
domain reads cpumask_size() bytes beyond the allocation and can report
bits from the following memory as CPU attributes.
KASAN reports slab-out-of-bounds reads for both dump and by-ID requests
against a synthetic non-CPU performance domain.
GET_PERF_DOMAINS does not require GENL_ADMIN_PERM, so an unprivileged
request can reach this path when a GPU or another devfreq device has
registered an energy model.
Allocate the cpumask for non-CPU domains too. The zeroed mask remains
empty, as required for the documented unused field.
