the syzkaller fuzzer.

The issue is caused by a lack of size check for the request size in
ep_write_iter which should be fixed. It, however, points to another
problem, that SLUB defines KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE too large because the its
KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX is (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT) which means that the
resulting page allocator request might be MAX_ORDER which is too large
(see __alloc_pages_slowpath). The same applies to the SLOB allocator
which allows even larger sizes. Make sure that they are capped properly
and never request more than MAX_ORDER order.
