virtio_ring: secure handling of mapping errors
We should not depend on the DMA address, length and flag of descriptor table since they could be wrote with arbitrary value by the device. So this patch switches to use the stored one in desc_extra. Note that the indirect descriptors are fine since they are read-only streaming mappings.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
