Static analysis reports that 'queue' may be a user controlled value that
is used as a data dependency to read from the 'ar9170_qmap' array. In
order to avoid potential leaks of kernel memory values, block
speculative execution of the instruction stream that could issue reads
based on an invalid result of 'ar9170_qmap[queue]'. In this case the
value of 'ar9170_qmap[queue]' is immediately reused as an index to the
'ar->edcf' array.

Based on an original patch by Elena Reshetova.
