Subject: vfio/cdx: Fix NULL pointer dereference in interrupt trigger path

From: Prasanna Kumar T S M <ptsm@linux.microsoft.com>

commit 5ea5880764cbb164afb17a62e76ca75dc371409d upstream.

Add validation to ensure MSI is configured before accessing cdx_irqs
array in vfio_cdx_set_msi_trigger(). Without this check, userspace
can trigger a NULL pointer dereference by calling VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS
with VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_BOOL or VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE flags before
ever setting up interrupts via VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_EVENTFD.

The vfio_cdx_msi_enable() function allocates the cdx_irqs array and
sets config_msi to 1 only when called through the EVENTFD path. The
trigger loop (for DATA_BOOL/DATA_NONE) assumed this had already been
done, but there was no enforcement of this call ordering.

This matches the protection used in the PCI VFIO driver where
vfio_pci_set_msi_trigger() checks irq_is() before the trigger loop.
