Fix access_ok() checks in sys_io_submit() and
compat_sys_io_submit()
sys_io_submit() and compat_sys_io_submit() check for the number of
requests (nr) being positive, but the following access_ok() call uses
nr * sizeof(ptr) which can overlow to a negative number.
Just make sure that nr * sizeof(ptr) is positive in the first place.
