In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vhost_vdpa: fix the crash in unmap a large memory

While testing in vIOMMU, sometimes Guest will unmap very large memory,
which will cause the crash. To fix this, add a new function
vhost_vdpa_general_unmap(). This function will only unmap the memory
that saved in iotlb.
