[dm-devel] [PATCH v2] dm ioct: prevent potential specter v1 gadget

[Jordy Zomer]

It appears like cmd could be a Spectre v1 gadget as it's supplied by a
user and used as an array index. Prevent the contents
of kernel memory from being leaked to userspace via speculative
execution by using array_index_nospec.

Forgot to add the nospec include, that's the reason for the v2 :)
