Subject: [PATCH] MPR7765: integer overflows when unmarshaling a bigarray

Malicious or corrupted marshaled data can result in a bigarray
with impossibly large dimensions that cause overflow when computing
the in-memory size of the bigarray.  Disaster ensues when the data
is read in a too small memory area.  This commit checks for overflows
when computing the in-memory size of the bigarray.
