Subject: [BUG] fbdev: sm712fb: Page fault in smtcfb_read

I found a minor in the smtcfb_read() function of the driver sm712fb.

This read function can not handle the case that the size of the
buffer is 3 and does not check for it, which may cause a page fault.

Here is a simple PoC:

#include <endian.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)
{
    char buf[10];

    int fd = open("/dev/fb0", O_RDWR);
    read(fd, buf, 3);

    return 0;
}

The following log reveals it:

[ 2432.614490] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90001ffffff
