Subject: x86/mpx: Fix off-by-one comparison with nr_registers
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9bf148cb0812595bfdf5100bd2c07e9bec9c6ef5 upstream.
In the unlikely event that regno == nr_registers then we get an array
overrun on regoff because the invalid register check is currently
off-by-one. Fix this with a check that regno is >= nr_registers instead.
Detected with static analysis using CoverityScan.
