Subject: [PATCH] audio: drc: register IPC-time blob validator

Hook a drc blob validator into the model handler so a corrupted
run-time configuration update is rejected before it can replace the
working blob. Playback or capture then continues with the previously
set parameters instead of being interrupted by a bad IPC.

The DRC configuration is a fixed-size struct sof_drc_config, so the
validator requires the IPC payload size to match exactly and the
self-declared config->size to agree with it. The same size check is
also reused at prepare time when the initial blob is fetched.
