[PATCH v3] media: v4l2-ctrls: validate HEVC active reference counts

[Pengpeng Hou]

HEVC slice parameters are shared stateless V4L2 controls, but the common
validation path does not verify the active L0/L1 reference counts before
driver-specific code consumes them.

The original report came from Cedrus, but the active count bounds are
not Cedrus-specific. Validate them in the common HEVC slice control path
so stateless HEVC drivers get the same basic guarantees as soon as the
control is queued.

Do not reject ref_idx_l0/ref_idx_l1 entries here. Existing userspace may
use out-of-range sentinel values such as 0xff for missing references, and
some hardware can use that information for concealment. Keep this common
check limited to the active reference counts.

v3:
- add the missing `p_hevc_slice_params` declaration to fix the build break
  reported by lkp
- keep only the active L0/L1 reference count validation in common code
- drop the ref_idx_l0/ref_idx_l1 rejection per Nicolas Dufresne's review,
  since existing userspace may use out-of-range sentinel values such as
  0xff for missing references
