Fix an error detected by the Smatch tool:
drivers/video/fbdev/metronomefb.c:220 load_waveform() error:
buffer overflow 'wfm_hdr->stuff2a' 2 <= 4
drivers/video/fbdev/metronomefb.c:220 load_waveform() error:
buffer overflow 'wfm_hdr->stuff2a' 2 <= 4
The access to wfm_hdr->stuff2a in the loop can lead to a buffer
overflow if stuff2a is not large enough. To fix this, a check was
added to ensure that stuff2a has sufficient space before accessing
it. This prevents the overflow and improves the safety of the code.
