commit 2f7a26abb8241a0208c68d22815aa247c5ddacab upstream. Syzbot reports "KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in snd_pcm_format_set_silence".[1] It is due to missing validation of the "silence" field of struct "pcm_format_data" in "pcm_formats" array. Add a test for valid "pat" and, if it is not so, return -EINVAL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
