proto is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
net/nfc/af_nfc.c:42 nfc_sock_create() warn: potential spectre issue 'proto_tab' [w] (local cap)
Fix this by sanitizing proto before using it to index proto_tab.
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

I'll take this directly, and queued up for -stable.
Thanks.

Dave,
I wonder if you can take this one too:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221212229.GA32635@embeddedor/
It's pretty similar to the af_nfc one.
Thanks
