[GIT PULL 1/9] hw/display/virtio-gpu: validate blob iov size

virtio_gpu_resource_create_blob() stores the guest-controlled blob_size
without checking it against the total size of the iov backing entries.
Since both values are independently guest-controlled, a malicious guest
can set blob_size much larger than the actual iov backing. Subsequent
SET_SCANOUT_BLOB checks bounds against the inflated blob_size, allowing
a pixman surface to be created over the undersized buffer. Any display
refresh then reads past the actual allocation, potentially crashing
QEMU or leaking host memory contents depending on the backing type.

Validate that the iov backing is at least as large as the declared
blob_size in create_blob (when nr_entries > 0, since the spec permits
deferred backing), attach_backing (when attaching to a blob resource),
and the blob migration load path.

Fixes: CVE-2026-66021
Fixes: e0933d91b1cd ("virtio-gpu: Add virtio_gpu_resource_create_blob")
Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/work_items/3945
