x86/tls: Fix possible spectre-v1 in do_get_thread_area()
The index to access the threads tls array is controlled by userspace
via syscall: sys_ptrace(), hence leading to a potential exploitation
of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
The index can be controlled from:
ptrace -> arch_ptrace -> do_get_thread_area.
Fix this by sanitizing the user supplied index before using it to access
the p->thread.tls_array.
