Subject: drm/vmwgfx: limit the number of mip levels in vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl()

From: Vladis Dronov <[email protected]>

commit ee9c4e681ec4f58e42a83cb0c22a0289ade1aacf upstream.

The 'req->mip_levels' parameter in vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl() is a user-controlled 'uint32_t' value which is used as a loop count limit. This can lead to a kernel lockup and DoS. Add check for 'req->mip_levels'.
