Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Limit the user-space command buffer size

From: Thomas Hellstrom <[email protected]>

commit 51ab70bed997f64f091a639dbe22b629725a7faf upstream.

With older hardware versions, the user could specify arbitrarily large command buffer sizes, causing a vmalloc / vmap space exhaustion.
