platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix out-of-bounds array access in ACPI package parsing

The hp_populate_*_elements_from_package() functions in the hp-bioscfg

driver contain out-of-bounds array access vulnerabilities.

These functions parse ACPI packages into internal data structures using

a for loop with index variable 'elem' that iterates through

enum_obj/integer_obj/order_obj/password_obj/string_obj arrays.

When processing multi-element fields like PREREQUISITES and

ENUM_POSSIBLE_VALUES, these functions read multiple consecutive array

elements using expressions like 'enum_obj[elem + reqs]' and

'enum_obj[elem + pos_values]' within nested loops.

The bug is that the bounds check only validated elem, but did not consider

the additional offset when accessing elem + reqs or elem + pos_values.

The fix changes the bounds check to validate the actual accessed index.
