Fix pktcdvd ioctl dev_minor range check

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a
pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array.  The index into this
array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the
comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will
fail when provided with a negative index.

This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to
an invalid pointer dereference.  This can be exploited by users with
permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is
readable by group "cdrom").
