CVE-2022-49592: linux kernel Memory Corruption — Fix

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: stmmac: fix dma queue left shift overflow issue When queue number is > 4, left shift overflows due to 32 bits integer variable. Mask calculation is wrong for MTL_RXQ_DMA_MAP1.
