3.19.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <[email protected]>

commit f18c34e483ff6b1d9866472221e4015b3a4698e4 upstream.

If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned
long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum.  If that
happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were
not expected to.

Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the
specified range.
