A large bytes parameter to pvalloc could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

ChangeLog:

2013-08-12  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_pvalloc): Check the value of bytes
	does not overflow.

When fixing a user-visible bug, please file a bug in Bugzilla for it if 
there isn't one already open, then include the [BZ #N] in your ChangeLog 
entry.

(In these overflow cases, arguably there should be a CVE as well, but 
someone else can handle that if appropriate.)
