Subject: [PATCH 4.8 015/125] drm/vmwgfx: Limit the user-space command buffer size

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

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

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@...are.com>

commit 51ab70bed997f64f091a639dbe22b629725a7faf upstream.

With older hardware versions, the user could specify arbitrarily large
command buffer sizes, causing a vmalloc / vmap space exhaustion.
