[ Upstream commit a49145acfb975d921464b84fe00279f99827d816 ]

A fb_ioctl() FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO call with invalid xres setting
or yres setting in struct fb_var_screeninfo will result in a
KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds failure in bitfill_aligned() as
the margins are being cleared. The margins are cleared in
chunks and if the xres setting or yres setting is a value of
zero upto the chunk size, the failure will occur.

Add a margin check to validate xres and yres settings.

Note that, this patch needs special handling to backport it to linux
kernel 4.19, 4.14, 4.9, 4.4.
