[PATCH -next] block: Warn if page offset is equal to or larger than page size

[Guenter Roeck]

Prior to commit 8a96a0e40810 ("block: rewrite blk_bvec_map_sg to avoid a
nth_page call"), it was valid to call blk_bvec_map_sg() with an offset
equal to or larger than the page size. blk_bvec_map_sg() would then adjust
page and offset by calling bvec_nth_page(). This is no longer possible.
Large offsets are now directly passed without validation to sg_set_page().
This results in data corruption and crashes such as the following,
observed when trying to boot arm:vexpress from mmc.

The above does not help at all when trying to track down the problem.
Let's at least add a warning to generate a traceback. The crash will
still be observed, but at least we'll have a hint what is causing it.
With this patch applied, we'll see something like the following
prior to the crash.

This patch is needed even if the call from mmc_blk_data_prep() is fixed.
We'll have to expect further problems from callers who are not aware about
the API change. Those problems will be difficult to track down without
extra information.

Use WARN_ONCE to report the problem. If the problem is seen, it may be
seen many times, and we don't want to flood the kernel log with repeated
messages.

I don't know if there are situations where offset >= PAGE_SIZE
is acceptable. A quick comparison with current mainline did not report
any instances where offset >= PAGE_SIZE is passed to sg_set_page().
I do see a number of warnings triggered by this patch in -next
(for example with alpha, m68k, ppc64, and riscv64 emulations) which
do not (or not immediately) result in a crash.

If there is a different / better means to detect a problem, please
let me know and I'll be happy to adjust the patch accordingly.
