Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/6] ARC: mm/mmap.c: Check length of unmapped area before
 allowing MAP_FIXED

arch_get_unmapped_area() could potentially allow a larger than possible
length when using the MAP_FIXED flag.  The bound check should come
before the check for MAP_FIXED.

Fixes: 5bba49f5397c (ARC: [mm] Aliasing VIPT dcache support 4/4)
