serial: omap: Prevent DoS using unprivileged ioctl(TIOCSRS485)
commit 308bbc9a upstream. The omap-serial driver emulates RS485 delays using software timers, but neglects to clamp the input values from the unprivileged ioctl(TIOCSRS485). Because the software implementation busy-waits, malicious userspace could stall the cpu for ~49 days. Clamp the input values to < 100ms.
