vme: Fix integer overflow checking in vme_check_window()
The controversial part of this patch is that I've changed it so we now prevent integer overflows for VME_USER types and before we didn't. I view it as kernel-hardening. I looked at a couple places that used VME_USER types and they seemed pretty suspicious so I'm pretty sure preventing overflows here is a good idea. The most common problem which this function is for cases like VME_A16 where we don't put an upper bound on "size" so you could have "size" set to U64_MAX and a valid vme_base would overflow the "vme_base + size" into the valid range as well. In the VME_A64 case, the integer overflow checking doesn't work because "U64_MAX + 1" has an integer overflow and it's just a complicated way of saying zero. That VME_A64 case is sort of interesting as well because there is a VME_A64_MAX define which is set to "U64_MAX + 1". The compiler will never let anyone use it since it can't be stored in a u64 variable... With my patch it's now limited to just U64_MAX. Anyway, I put one integer overflow check at the start of the function and deleted all existing checks.
