H A Dmodule.c04211a57 Thu Feb 04 07:05:02 CST 2016 Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> MIPS: Bail on unsupported module relocs

When an unsupported reloc is encountered in a module, we currently
blindly branch to whatever would be at its entry in the reloc handler
function pointer arrays. This may be NULL, or if the unsupported reloc
has a type greater than that of the supported reloc with the highest
type then we'll dereference some value after the function pointer array
& branch to that. The result is at best a kernel oops.

Fix this by checking that the reloc type has an entry in the function
pointer array (ie. is less than the number of items in the array) and
that the handler is non-NULL, returning an error code to fail the module
load if no handler is found.
