Subject: drm/msm: Fix potential buffer overflow issue

From: Kasin Li <[email protected]>

commit 4a630fadbb29d9efaedb525f1a8f7449ad107641 upstream.

In function submit_create, if nr_cmds or nr_bos is assigned with negative value, the allocated buffer may be small than intended. Using this buffer will lead to buffer overflow issue.
