KVM: s390: Fix length check __import_wp_info()
struct kvm_hw_breakpoint::len is a __u64 that is fully controlled by user
space. This is then assigned to wp_info->len, which is an int. The bounds
check is done on the truncated value while the allocation uses the
untruncated one:
wp_info->len = bp_data->len;
[...]
if (wp_info->len < 0 || wp_info->len > MAX_WP_SIZE)
return -EINVAL;
wp_info->old_data = kmalloc(bp_data->len, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
Use the validated value for the allocation as intended. Without this
fix userspace can trigger >4GB allocations which will fail and result
in a WARN due to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
