Some legacy fbdev drivers may incorrectly set info->screen_size to a
value larger than the actual mapped framebuffer size (info->fix.smem_len)
during mode switches. This could allow out-of-bounds I/O accesses in
fb_io_read() and fb_io_write().

Prevent this by clamping total_size to smem_len when smem_len is non-zero.
Virtual framebuffers (smem_len == 0) are unaffected.

This is a hardening measure; no specific crash is fixed by this patch.
