Subject: brd: fix overflow in __brd_direct_access

From: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]>

commit 02a4843618fb35f847cf8c31cd3893873aa0edde upstream.

The code in __brd_direct_access multiplies the pgoff variable by page size and divides it by 512. It can cause overflow on 32-bit architectures. The overflow happens if we create ramdisk larger than 4G and use it as a sparse device.

This patch replaces multiplication and division with multiplication by the number of sectors per page.
