In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in nvme_dbbuf_set
dev->online_queues is a count incremented in nvme_init_queue. Thus,
valid indices are 0 through dev->online_queues − 1.
This patch fixes the loop condition to ensure the index stays within the
valid range. Index 0 is excluded because it is the admin queue.
