cpufreq: Fix policy getting stuck when user & kernel min/max don't overlap

Every __cpufreq_set_policy starts with checking the new policy min/max has
some overlap with the current policy min/max. This works out fine until we
end up with the policy min/max being set to a range that doesn't overlap
with the user policy min/max. Once we get into this situation, the check at
the start of __cpufreq_set_policy fails and prevents us from getting out of
this state.

This only happens when one of the CPUFREQ_ADJUST/CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE
notifiers called inside __cpufreq_set_policy pick a min/max outside the
range of user policy min/max.

The real intent of the check at the start of __cpufreq_set_policy is to
make sure userspace can't set user policy min > user policy max. Since
__cpufreq_set_policy always gets called only with current user policy
min/max except when the actual user space policy min/max is changed, we can
fix the issue by simply checking the new policy min/max against current
user policy min/max.

mmc: card: fix arbitrary write via read handler in mmc_block_test

In mmc_block_test, the debug_fs based read function handlers write to an
arbitrary buffer which is given by any user. We add an access_ok check
to verify that the address pointed by *buffer is not in kernel space.
Only if the buffer is valid, do we continue the read handler.

cpufreq: Optimize cpufreq_frequency_table_verify()

cpufreq_frequency_table_verify() is rewritten here to make it more logical
and efficient.
 - merge multiple lines for variable declarations together.
 - quit early if any frequency between min/max is found.
 - don't call cpufreq_verify_within_limits() in case any valid freq is
   found as it is of no use.
 - rename the count variable as found and change its type to boolean.

cpufreq: add new routine cpufreq_verify_within_cpu_limits()

Most of the users of cpufreq_verify_within_limits() calls it for
limiting with min/max from policy->cpuinfo. We can make that code
simple by introducing another routine which will do this for them
automatically.

This patch adds another routine cpufreq_verify_within_cpu_limits()
and updates others to use it.
