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