Currently, kernel drivers are allowed to set arbitrary dimension information to elements. The total number of members calculated by the dimension information should be within the number of members in the element, while there's no validator. When userspace applications have quite simple implementation, this can cause buffer-over-run over 'struct snd_ctl_elem_value' data. This commit adds the validation. Unfortunately, the dimension information is set at runtime, thus the validation cannot run in advance. As of Linux 4.7, there's no drivers to use the dimen information except for Echo Audio PCI cards.
