dm ioctl: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget
[ Upstream commit cd9c88da171a62c4b0f1c70e50c75845969fbc18 ]
It appears like cmd could be a Spectre v1 gadget as it's supplied by a
user and used as an array index. Prevent the contents of kernel memory
from being leaked to userspace via speculative execution by using
array_index_nospec.
