From: Jason Wang jasowang@redhat.com
[ Upstream commit d65026c6c62e7d9616c8ceb5a53b68bcdc050525 ]
Vq log_base is the userspace address of bitmap which has nothing to do with IOTLB. So it needs to be validated unconditionally otherwise we may try use 0 as log_base which may lead to pin pages that will lead unexpected result (e.g trigger BUG_ON() in set_bit_to_user()).
