From: "Fabio M. De Francesco" <fmdefrancesco@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/highmem: VM_BUG_ON() if offset + len > PAGE_SIZE

Add VM_BUG_ON() bounds checking to make sure that, if "offset + len>
PAGE_SIZE", memset() does not corrupt data in adjacent pages.

Mainly to match all the similar functions in highmem.h.
