[SRU Xenial]

== Justification ==

The ubuntu/opennsl drivers have various issues found by static analysis.
These are potential null pointer deference bugs and array out-of-bounds
reads.  These need fixing.

== Test case ==

N/A.  The fixes exercise untested corner cases the are potential issues.

== Regression potential ==

The fixes affect just the opennsl driver and are limited in scope.  At
most they will inhibit ioctl functionality (that is, abuse via an
invalid ioctl).
