There is an integer overflow bug in the FBIOPUTCMAP ioctl if
cmap->len * 2 overflows.

It's harmless, except that it messes up the cmap until someone types
`reset`.  It could have been caught by checking the return from
fb_copy_cmap().

Or it could have been caught by limiting the size of the cmaps to one
page.  The cmaps are allocated with GFP_ATOMIC and it makes sense to
limit them.

Different drivers use different sizes of cmaps.  There are about 150
drivers.  I've checked a bunch (50) of them and the larges cmap.len I've
found is gxt4500 which maxes out at 1024 so PAGE_SIZE is about twice that
length.  For some of the 50 I wasn't sure on the limit.

Is PAGE_SIZE a reasonable limit?  Does anyone know or do I have to audit
all 150 drivers?
