header->number 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:

sound/isa/wavefront/wavefront_synth.c:792 wavefront_send_patch() warn: 
potential spectre issue 'dev->patch_status' [w] (local cap)
sound/isa/wavefront/wavefront_synth.c:819 wavefront_send_program() warn: 
potential spectre issue 'dev->prog_status' [w] (local cap)
sound/isa/wavefront/wavefront_synth.c:1197 wavefront_send_alias() warn: 
potential spectre issue 'dev->sample_status' [w]
sound/isa/wavefront/wavefront_synth.c:1248 wavefront_send_multisample() warn: 
potential spectre issue 'dev->sample_status' [w]
sound/isa/wavefront/wavefront_synth.c:1548 wavefront_synth_control() warn: 
potential spectre issue 'dev->sample_status' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing header->number before using it to index
dev->patch_status, dev->prog_status and dev->sample_status.

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].
