Thomas Pollet noticed that the remap_file_pages() system call in
fremap.c has a potential overflow in the first part of the if statement
below, which could cause it to process bogus input parameters.
Specifically the pgoff + size parameters could be wrap thereby
preventing the system call from failing when it should.
