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

iommufd: Prevent ALIGN() overflow

When allocating IOVA the candidate range gets aligned to the target
alignment. If the range is close to ULONG_MAX then the ALIGN() can
wrap resulting in a corrupted iova.

Open code the ALIGN() using get_add_overflow() to prevent this.
This simplifies the checks as we don't need to check for length earlier
either.

Consolidate the two copies of this code under a single helper.

This bug would allow userspace to create a mapping that overlaps with some
other mapping or a reserved range.
