Subject: [PATCH] fb: fix fb_pan_display range check

fb: fix fb_pan_display range check

This patch fixes the range check for panning. The current code fails to detect
some invalid values (very high ones that can occur if an app tries to move
further up/left than 0,0) as the check uses the unknown values for calculation
so that an overflow can occur. To fix this it is sufficient to move the
calculation to the right side to use only trusted values.
Kai Jiang detected this problem and proposed an initial patch.
