Oops, looks like I missed when that one was submitted for review...
A fb_ioctl() FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO call with invalid xres setting
or yres setting in struct fb_var_screeninfo will result in a
KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds failure in bitfill_aligned() as
the margins are being cleared. The margins are cleared in
chunks and if the xres setting or yres setting is a value of
zero upto the chunk size, the failure will occur.

Add a margin check to validate xres and yres settings.
Shouldn't (the caller of) bitfill_aligned() be fixed instead?
Can this be triggered by e.g. using the mini_4x6 font?

Note that, this patch needs special handling to backport it to linux
kernel 4.19, 4.14, 4.9, 4.4.
