Subject: [PATCH next] nvdimm: Prevent integer overflow in
 ramdax_get_config_data()

The "cmd->in_offset" variable comes from the user via the __nd_ioctl()
function.  The problem is that the "cmd->in_offset + cmd->in_length"
addition could have an integer wrapping issue if cmd->in_offset is close
to UINT_MAX .  The "cmd->in_length" variable has been capped, but the
"cmd->in_offset" variable has not.  Both of these variables are type u32.

Fixes: 43bc0aa19a21 ("nvdimm: allow exposing RAM carveouts as NVDIMM DIMM devices")
