We would overrun the error_text array if we hit a TIMEOUT condition,
because we were using the error code "ETIMEDOUT" (which is 110) as an
array index.
We fix the problem by correcting the array index and by providing a
function to retrieve error messages rather than accessing the array
directly. The function includes a bounds check that prevents the array
from being overrun.
This patch was prepared in response to
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/18/505.

- Added Florian's ack.
- Removed second "const" from get_error_text() return type
(thanks to the kernel test robot).
