[PATCH 01/45] libfdt: check for potential overrun in _fdt_splice()

From: Courtney Cavin <courtney.cavin at sonymobile.com>

This patch catches the conditions where:
 - 'splicepoint' is set to a point outside of [ fdt, fdt_totalsize(fdt) )
 - 'newlen' is negative, or 'splicepoint' plus 'newlen' results in overflow

Either of these cases can be caused by math which overflows in calling
functions, or by sizes specified through dynamic means.
