4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Alistair Strachan <astrachan@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8632c614565d0c5fdde527889601c018e97b6384 ]
The ashmem driver did not check that the size/offset of the vma passed
to its .mmap() function was not larger than the ashmem object being
mapped. This could cause mmap() to succeed, even though accessing parts
of the mapping would later fail with a segmentation fault.
Ensure an error is returned by the ashmem_mmap() function if the vma
size is larger than the ashmem object size. This enables safer handling
of the problem in userspace.
