agp: fix arbitrary kernel memory writes
pg_start is copied from userspace on AGPIOC_BIND and AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl cmds of agp_ioctl() and passed to agpioc_bind_wrap(). As said in the comment, (pg_start + mem->page_count) may wrap in case of AGPIOC_BIND, and it is not checked at all in case of AGPIOC_UNBIND. As a result, user with sufficient privileges (usually "video" group) may generate either local DoS or privilege escalation.
