x86/cpu: Fix bootup crashes by sanitizing the argument of the 'clearcpuid=' command-line option
commit dd853fd216d1485ed3045ff772079cc8689a9a4a upstream.
A negative number can be specified in the cmdline which will be used as
setup_clear_cpu_cap() argument. With that we can clear/set some bit in
memory predceeding boot_cpu_data/cpu_caps_cleared which may cause kernel
to misbehave. This patch adds lower bound check to setup_disablecpuid().
Boris Petkov reproduced a crash:
