[PATCH] HID: core: check field offset before dumping input

Message-ID <[email protected]>
hid_set_field() passes field->usage + offset to hid_dump_input() before
validating offset against field->report_count. field->usage is allocated
with exactly report_count entries, so a larger offset is read out of
bounds before the existing check rejects it:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hid_dump_input+0xcb/0xd0
  Read of size 4 at addr ffff88802ab28fc0 by task kworker/1:2/48

Move the bounds check above the hid_dump_input() call so the function
returns before the dereference.
