[PATCH] fdt: change splicing offset detection

[Elijah Conners]

In fdt_rw.c, -FDT_ERR_BADOFFSET is returned when either the sum of the
old
length and the splice point are less than the splice point, or when the
sum of the old length and the splice point exceed the end of the
pointer.
Adding an int and a pointer may result in a pointer overflow, an
undefined behavior, which means that the result of this if statement
can't be recovered from. Checking if the old length exceeds the end of
the pointer minus the pointer is a much safer check.
