Description

Check port number supplied by user verbs cmds in ibcore.

The ib_uverbs_create_ah() ind ib_uverbs_modify_qp() calls receive
the port number from user input as part of its attributes and assumes
it is valid. Down on the stack, that parameter is used to access kernel
data structures. If the value is invalid, the kernel accesses memory
it should not. To prevent this, verify the port number before using it.
