The "config.offset" comes from the user.  There needs to a check to
prevent it being out of bounds.  The "config.offset" and
"dev->config_size" variables are both type u32.  So if the offset if
out of bounds then the "dev->config_size - config.offset" subtraction
results in a very high u32 value.
Thanks for catching this! I think we also need a fix for
vhost_vdpa_config_validate().
Okay.  I just sent v2.  I'll send a v3.  vhost_vdpa_config_validate()
uses long type for "size" so the subtract works okay on a 64bit system.
