fs/partitions/ldm.c: fix oops caused by corrupted partition table, CVE-2011-1017
From: Timo Warns <Warns@pre-sense.de>

CVE-2011-1017
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contains
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted LDM partitions.
A kernel subsystem seems to crash, because, after the oops, the kernel no
longer recognizes newly connected storage devices.
The patch validates the value of vblk_size.
