In function do_fb_ioctl(), the "arg" is the type of unsigned long, and in "case FBIOBLANK:" this argument is casted into an int before passig to fb_blank(). In fb_blank(), the comparision if (blank > FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN) would be bypass if the original "arg" is a large number, which is possible because it comes from the user input. Fix this by adding the check before the function call.
