Jean Delvare 048a7f8b4e s390: qeth: Fix potential array overrun in cmd/rc lookup
Functions qeth_get_ipa_msg and qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name are modifying
the last member of global arrays without any locking that I can see.
If two instances of either function are running at the same time,
it could cause a race ultimately leading to an array overrun (the
contents of the last entry of the array is the only guarantee that
the loop will ever stop).

Performing the lookups without modifying the arrays is admittedly
slower (two comparisons per iteration instead of one) but these
are operations which are rare (should only be needed in error
cases or when debugging, not during successful operation) and it
seems still less costly than introducing a mutex to protect the
arrays in question.

As a side bonus, it allows us to declare both arrays as const data.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
