Subject: [PATCH 3.16 48/63] video: uvesafb: Fix integer overflow in allocation

3.16.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

commit 9f645bcc566a1e9f921bdae7528a01ced5bc3713 upstream.

cmap->len can get close to INT_MAX/2, allowing for an integer overflow in
allocation. This uses kmalloc_array() instead to catch the condition.
