can: af_can: Fix Spectre v1 vulnerability
protocol is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
net/can/af_can.c:115 can_get_proto() warn: potential spectre issue 'proto_tab' [w]
Fix this by sanitizing protocol before using it to index proto_tab.
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
