Without this patch driver dell-wmi is trying to access elements of dynamically
allocated array without checking array size. This can lead to memory corruption
or kernel panic. This patch adds missing checks for array size.

This patch should be probably applied to stable kernel trees as it fixing
possible memory corruption.
