Summary
net/mlx5e: add missing cpu_to_node to kvzalloc_node in mlx5e_open_xdpredirect_sq
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5e: add missing cputonode to kvzallocnode in mlx5eopenxdpredirectsq

kvzallocnode is not doing a runtime check on the node argument (allocpagesnodenoprof does have a VMBUGON, but it expands to nothing on !CONFIGDEBUGVM builds), so doing any ethtool/netlink operation that calls mlx5eopen on a CPU that's larger that MAXNUMNODES triggers OOB access and panic (see the trace below).

Add missing cputonode call to convert cpu id to node id.
