Subject: drm/vmwgfx: NULL pointer dereference in vmw_surface_define_ioctl()

From: Murray McAllister <[email protected]>

commit 36274ab8c596f1240c606bb514da329add2a1bcd upstream.

Before memory allocations vmw_surface_define_ioctl() checks the upper-bounds of a user-supplied size, but does not check if the supplied size is 0.

Add check to avoid NULL pointer dereferences.
