    libfc: sanity check cpu number extracted from xid · fa068832

    In the receive path libfc extracts a cpu number from the ox_id in the
    fiber channel header and uses that to do a per_cpu_ptr conversion.  If,
    for some reason, a frame is received with an invalid ox_id, per_cpu_ptr
    will return an invalid pointer and the libfc receive path will panic the
    system trying to use it.
    
    I'm currently looking at such a case, and I don't yet know why a cpu
    number > nr_cpu_ids is appearing in an exchange id.  But adding a sanity
    check in libfc prevents a system panic, and seems like good idea when
    dealing with frames coming in from the network.
