usercopy: avoid potentially undefined behavior in pointer math
check_bogus_address() checked for pointer overflow using this expression, where 'ptr' has type 'const void *': ptr + n < ptr Since pointer wraparound is undefined behavior, gcc at -O2 by default treats it like the following, which would not behave as intended: (long)n < 0 Fortunately, this doesn't currently happen for kernel code because kernel code is compiled with -fno-strict-overflow. But the expression should be fixed anyway to use well-defined integer arithmetic, since it could be treated differently by different compilers in the future or could be reported by tools checking for undefined behavior.
