Check if cpmsg->size is in limits of DATA_FRAGMENT

---

If corrupted data are read from /dev/vmbus/hv_fcopy, pwrite can
read from memory outside of the buffer (defined at line 138).
Added check. 

Changes made since v1:
	* max value of cmesg->size is now derived from structure
	  definition in sources/include/uapi/linux/hyperv.h
	* Fixed comments
