Subject: [PATCH 3.11 173/208] dm table: fail dm_table_create on dm_round_up overflow

3.11.10.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit 5b2d06576c5410c10d95adfd5c4d8b24de861d87 upstream.

The dm_round_up function may overflow to zero.  In this case,
dm_table_create() must fail rather than go on to allocate an empty array
with alloc_targets().

This fixes a possible memory corruption that could be caused by passing
too large a number in "param->target_count".
