3.19.8-ckt3 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jan Kara <jack at suse.cz>
commit f18c34e483ff6b1d9866472221e4015b3a4698e4 upstream.
If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned
long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum. If that
happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were
not expected to.
Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the
specified range.
