3.19.8-ckt10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin at oracle.com>

commit 1266963170f576d4d08e6310b6963e26d3ff9d1e upstream.

63692df103e9 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs") didn't check that
the numa node provided by userspace is valid.  Passing a node number too
high would attempt to access invalid memory and trigger a kernel panic.

Fixes: 63692df103e9 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs")
