Subject[PATCH] Input: uinput - fix Spectre v1 vulnerability
setup.code can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

drivers/input/misc/uinput.c:512 uinput_abs_setup() warn: potential
spectre issue 'dev->absinfo' [w] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing setup.code before using it to index dev->absinfo.

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].
