[PATCH] tomoyo: common: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerability

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

profile is controlled by user-space via /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/profile,
hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1
vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

security/tomoyo/common.c:498 tomoyo_assign_profile() warn: potential spectre issue 'ns->profile_ptr' [r] (local cap)
security/tomoyo/common.c:499 tomoyo_assign_profile() warn: possible spectre second half.  'ptr'
security/tomoyo/common.c:505 tomoyo_assign_profile() warn: possible spectre second half.  'ptr'
security/tomoyo/common.c:523 tomoyo_assign_profile() warn: possible spectre second half.  'ptr'

Fix this by sanitizing profile before using it to index ns->profile_ptr

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
