4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4411ec1d1993e8dbff2898390e3fed280d88e446 upstream.

> kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:871 perf_mmap_to_page() warn: potential spectre issue 'rb->aux_pages'

Userspace controls @pgoff through the fault address. Sanitize the
array index before doing the array dereference.
