[PATCH 2/2] fbdev: sbuslib: integer overflow in sbusfb_ioctl_helper()

The "index + count" addition can overflow.  Both come directly from the
user.  This bug leads to an information leak.

Btw, commit 250c6c49e3b6 ("fbdev: Fixing arbitrary kernel leak in case
FBIOGETCMAP_SPARC in sbusfb_ioctl_helper().") doesn't do anything so
far as I can see.  The "cmap->len" variable is type u32, so the
comparison was already unsigned in the original code because of type
promotion.  But the commit was also harmless and nice cleanup.
