[PATCH] ALSA: control: Fix an out-of-bounds bug in get_ctl_id_hash()

Since the user can control the arguments provided to the kernel by the
ioctl() system call, an out-of-bounds bug occurs when the 'id->name'
provided by the user does not end with '\0'.

The following log can reveal it:

[    10.002313] BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in snd_ctl_find_id+0x36c/0x3a0
[    10.002895] Read of size 1 at addr ffff888109f5fe28 by task snd/439
[    10.004934] Call Trace:
[    10.007140]  snd_ctl_find_id+0x36c/0x3a0
[    10.007489]  snd_ctl_ioctl+0x6cf/0x10e0

Fix this by checking the bound of 'id->name' in the loop.
