[PATCH kernel v9 04/32] vfio: powerpc/spapr: Check that IOMMU page is fully contained by system page

Alexey Kardashevskiy

This checks that the TCE table page size is not bigger that the size of
a page we just pinned and going to put its physical address to the table.

Otherwise the hardware gets unwanted access to physical memory between
the end of the actual page and the end of the aligned up TCE page.

Since compound_order() and compound_head() work correctly on non-huge
pages, there is no need for additional check whether the page is huge.
