File CVE-2016-1714-qemuu-fw_cfg-add-check-to-validate-current-entry-value.patch of Package xen.8425

Reference: bsc#961692 CVE-2016-1714

When processing firmware configurations, an OOB r/w access occurs
if 's->cur_entry' is set to be invalid(FW_CFG_INVALID=0xffff).
Add a check to validate 's->cur_entry' to avoid such access.
