ipv4: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in ip_metrics_convert()
[ Upstream commit 1d1d63b612801b3f0a39b7d4467cad0abd60e5c8 ]
if (!type)
continue;
if (type > RTAX_MAX)
return -EINVAL;
...
metrics[type - 1] = val;
@type being used as an array index, we need to prevent
cpu speculation or risk leaking kernel memory content.
