[PATCH] fbmem: don't allow too huge resolutions

syzbot is reporting page fault at vga16fb_fillrect() [1], for
vga16fb_check_var() is failing to detect multiplication overflow.

  if (vxres * vyres > maxmem) {
    vyres = maxmem / vxres;
    if (vyres < yres)
      return -ENOMEM;
  }

Since no module would accept too huge resolutions where multiplication
overflow happens, let's reject in the common path.

This patch does not use array_size(), for array_size() is allowed to
return UINT_MAX on 32bits even if overflow did not happen. We want to
detect only overflow here, for individual module will recheck with more
strict limits as needed.
