Subject: drivers: char: mem: Check for address space wraparound with mmap()

From: Julius Werner <jwerner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b299cde245b0b76c977f4291162cf668e087b408 upstream.

/dev/mem currently allows mmap() mappings that wrap around the end of
the physical address space, which should probably be illegal. It
circumvents the existing STRICT_DEVMEM permission check because the loop
immediately terminates (as the start address is already higher than the
end address). On the x86_64 architecture it will then cause a panic
(from the BUG(start >= end) in arch/x86/mm/pat.c:reserve_memtype()).

This patch adds an explicit check to make sure offset + size will not
wrap around in the physical address type.
