[PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Test for "silence" field in struct "pcm_format_data"

From: Fabio M. De Francesco
Date: Fri Apr 08 2022 - 21:27:12 EST


Syzbot reports "KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in
snd_pcm_format_set_silence".[1]

It is due to missing validation of the "silence" field of struct
"pcm_format_data" in "pcm_formats" array.

Add a test for valid "pat" and, if it is not so, return -EINVAL.

I wasn't able to figure out the commit for the "Fixes:" tag. If this patch
is good, can someone please help with providing this missing information?
