idpf_get_reg_intr_vecs() fills the caller-allocated reg_vals[] array from
the VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply in adapter->req_vec_chunks, bounding
its inner loop only by the per-chunk num_vectors. The array is sized
separately: idpf_intr_reg_init() allocates
kzalloc_objs(struct idpf_vec_regs, total_vecs) from
caps.num_allocated_vectors and only checks the returned count after the
fill. The sum of per-chunk num_vectors is never reconciled against
total_vecs, so a reply with a small num_allocated_vectors but chunks
summing higher writes past the end of reg_vals[].

Impact: a control plane (a PF or hypervisor device model) that returns a
VIRTCHNL2_OP_ALLOC_VECTORS reply whose per-chunk num_vectors sum exceeds
num_allocated_vectors writes struct idpf_vec_regs entries past the end of
the reg_vals kmalloc allocation (KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write).

Bound the fill loop to the array capacity passed in by the callers,
mirroring the sibling idpf_vport_get_q_reg(). The existing
num_regs < num_vecs check then rejects an undersized reply without the
out-of-bounds write happening first.

The reply originates from the control plane (a PF or hypervisor device
model), which is trusted in a standard deployment, so this is a
defense-in-depth / robustness fix: it bounds a malformed or internally
inconsistent ALLOC_VECTORS reply. It is a genuine trust-boundary crossing
only where the guest distrusts the control plane (a confidential VM or an
Intel IPU posture) or the control plane is simply buggy. It is not
remotely or unprivileged-reachable.

Reproduced with a KUnit harness that calls the unmodified
idpf_get_reg_intr_vecs() against a crafted req_vec_chunks reply
(num_allocated_vectors = 1, four chunks of sixteen vectors) under KASAN:
stock reports a slab-out-of-bounds write 0 bytes past a 12-byte kmalloc-16
object and the test fails; the patched build is KASAN-clean; a well-formed
64-vector reply still fills 64 entries on both. The KUnit wiring is
repro-only scaffolding, not part of this patch; harness on request.
