scsi: mpi3mr: Validate reply frame size bounds

This commit validates that the firmware-reported reply_frame_size in
mpi3mr_issue_iocfacts() falls within [16, U16_MAX / 4] dwords to prevent
integer overflow when computing facts.reply_sz and underflow when sizing
logdata entries.

[Severity: High]
Is a minimum of 16 dwords (64 bytes) for MPI3MR_MIN_REPLY_FRAME_SZ_DWORDS
sufficient for event notification replies that carry struct
mpi3_device_page0?

Event notification replies (struct mpi3_event_notification_reply) are
delivered in the mrioc->reply_buf frames of size mrioc->reply_sz
(reply_frame_size * 4), where the event_data payload starts at byte offset
24 (6 dwords). For MPI3_EVENT_DEVICE_ADDED, the event_data payload is
struct mpi3_device_page0 (64 bytes / 16 dwords), which requires a reply
frame of at least 24 + 64 = 88 bytes (22 dwords).

When reply_frame_size is between 16 and 21 dwords (64 to 84 bytes),
mpi3mr_issue_iocfacts() accepts it, and an incoming MPI3_EVENT_DEVICE_ADDED
event in drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c:mpi3mr_os_handle_events() casts
event_reply->event_data to struct mpi3_device_page0:

	case MPI3_EVENT_DEVICE_ADDED:
	{
		struct mpi3_device_page0 *dev_pg0 =
		    (struct mpi3_device_page0 *)event_reply->event_data;
		if (mpi3mr_create_tgtdev(mrioc, dev_pg0))
			...

mpi3mr_create_tgtdev() -> mpi3mr_update_tgtdev() then reads dev_pg0->
device_specific fields up to offset 59 of dev_pg0 (offset 83 of
event_reply), reading past a 64..84 byte reply frame and past the end of
mrioc->reply_buf when using the last frame in the pool.

In addition, when mpi3mr_os_handle_events() allocates fwevt for the bottom
half, it clamps the event_data allocation size sz to avail_reply_room
(mrioc->reply_sz - 24, which is 40..48 bytes for 16..18 dwords):

	if (mrioc->reply_sz > offsetof(struct mpi3_event_notification_reply, event_data))
		avail_reply_room = mrioc->reply_sz -
		    offsetof(struct mpi3_event_notification_reply, event_data);
	else
		avail_reply_room = 0;
	sz = min_t(u16, event_reply->event_data_length * 4, avail_reply_room);
	fwevt = mpi3mr_alloc_fwevt(sz);

When drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c:mpi3mr_fwevt_bh() later processes
MPI3_EVENT_DEVICE_ADDED with persistent_id ==
MPI3_DEVICE0_PERSISTENTID_INVALID and sas_transport_enabled set for a
SAS/SATA device:

	dev_pg0 = (struct mpi3_device_page0 *)fwevt->event_data;
	perst_id = le16_to_cpu(dev_pg0->persistent_id);
	handle = le16_to_cpu(dev_pg0->dev_handle);
	if (perst_id != MPI3_DEVICE0_PERSISTENTID_INVALID)
		mpi3mr_report_tgtdev_to_host(mrioc, perst_id);
	else if (mrioc->sas_transport_enabled &&
	    (dev_pg0->device_form == MPI3_DEVICE_DEVFORM_SAS_SATA)) {
		sasinf = &dev_pg0->device_specific.sas_sata_format;
		dev_info = le16_to_cpu(sasinf->device_info);

can reading sasinf->device_info at offset 50..51 of fwevt->event_data read
out of bounds of the slab object when only 40..48 bytes were allocated?
