    xz: validate the value before assigning it to an enum variable
    
    This might matter, for example, if the underlying type of enum xz_check
    was a signed char. In such a case the validation wouldn't have caught an
    unsupported header. I don't know if this problem can occur in the kernel
    on any arch but it's still good to fix it because some people might copy
    the XZ code to their own projects from Linux instead of the upstream
    XZ Embedded repository.
    
    This change may increase the code size by a few bytes. An alternative
    would have been to use an unsigned int instead of enum xz_check but
    using an enumeration looks cleaner.
