Avoid pgoff overflow in remap_file_pages
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.
