platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Unify response_sz validation to an upper-bound check

Browse source

As HSMP protocol versions evolve, existing message IDs sometimes
gain additional response words on newer firmware. validate_message()
currently enforces a strict equality (response_sz == table value)
for HSMP_SET and HSMP_GET, so userspace compiled against an earlier
descriptor table is rejected with -EINVAL when it asks for fewer
response words than the in-kernel table now declares - even though
that caller has no interest in the additional words. Only
HSMP_SET_GET already used a relaxed upper-bound check.

Replace the per-type branching with a single upper-bound check for
all message types. Userspace can now request fewer response words
than hardware provides, while requests that exceed the descriptor
table (and therefore the hardware capability) are still rejected.
