This patch contains an extra check on the comment
for an upper bound check for the logical block address in the
function mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data().

This web page:
http://www.o3one.org/hwdocs/cdrom_formats/scsi_programming.htm

states that:
"Logical adressing of CD-ROM information may use any logical
block length. When the specified logical block length is an
exact divisor or integral multiple of the selected number
of bytes per CD-ROM sector, the device shall map (one to one)
the bytes transferred from CD-ROM sectors to the bytes of logical
blocks. For instance, if 2048 bytes are transferred from each
CD-ROM sector,.., and the logical block length is 512 bytes, then
each CD-ROM sector shall map to exactly four logical blocks."

If the number of sectors on the CD drive is a multiple of the block
size, then, as I understand, it should be possible to perform a
simple check on the logical block address in this case.

If the logical block address (lba value) is greater than
(logical_blocks-1) * blocksize, then it should not be possible
to read the next block, because if the lba value is greater
than this value, then it might try to read a full next block that
does not exist.

Please let me know what you think.
Thank you very much.
