CVE-2022-50239

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

cpufreq: qcom: fix writes in read-only memory region

This commit fixes a kernel oops because of a write in some read-only memory:

	[    9.068287] Unable to handle kernel write to read-only memory at virtual address ffff800009240ad8
	..snip..
	[    9.138790] Internal error: Oops: 9600004f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
	..snip..
	[    9.269161] Call trace:
	[    9.276271]  __memcpy+0x5c/0x230
	[    9.278531]  snprintf+0x58/0x80
	[    9.282002]  qcom_cpufreq_msm8939_name_version+0xb4/0x190
	[    9.284869]  qcom_cpufreq_probe+0xc8/0x39c
	..snip..

The following line defines a pointer that point to a char buffer stored
in read-only memory:

	char *pvs_name = "speedXX-pvsXX-vXX";

This pointer is meant to hold a template "speedXX-pvsXX-vXX" where the
XX values get overridden by the qcom_cpufreq_krait_name_version function. Since
the template is actually stored in read-only memory, when the function
executes the following call we get an oops:

	snprintf(*pvs_name, sizeof("speedXX-pvsXX-vXX"), "speed%d-pvs%d-v%d",
		 speed, pvs, pvs_ver);

To fix this issue, we instead store the template name onto the stack by
using the following syntax:

	char pvs_name_buffer[] = "speedXX-pvsXX-vXX";

Because the `pvs_name` needs to be able to be assigned to NULL, the
template buffer is stored in the pvs_name_buffer and not under the
pvs_name variable.
