[PATCH] drm/gma500: bound the fbdev fault loop to the framebuffer

psb_fbdev_vm_fault() maps as many frames as the caller asked for:

	unsigned long pfn = info->fix.smem_start >> PAGE_SHIFT;
	unsigned long page_num = vma_pages(vma);

	for (i = 0; i < page_num; ++i) {
		err = vmf_insert_mixed(vma, address, pfn);
		...
		address += PAGE_SIZE;
		++pfn;
	}

The trip count is the VMA length and the pfn walks up from the
framebuffer base.  info->fix.smem_len, the extent of the framebuffer, is
not read anywhere in the handler, so a mapping longer than the
framebuffer installs present PTEs for the physical frames above it.

Nothing else on the path bounds the length.  psb_fbdev_fb_mmap() only
requires vm_pgoff to be zero, and fb_mmap() passes the length through.

On x86_64 an unprivileged process in group video mapped 4800 pages of a
600-page framebuffer; every page was present and writable, and the 4200
past the object were the frames above it in physical memory.  Nothing is
logged: the kernel installs valid PTEs and every access through them
comes from userspace.

Reject a fault whose page offset is already past the framebuffer and
clamp the loop to the frames the framebuffer owns.
