Subject: mac: validate mac_partition is within sector

commit 02e2a5bfebe99edcf9d694575a75032d53fe1b73 upstream.

If md->signature == MAC_DRIVER_MAGIC and md->block_size == 1023, a single
512 byte sector would be read (secsize / 512). However the partition
structure would be located past the end of the buffer (secsize % 512).
