3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>
commit 5e5aeb4367b450a28f447f6d5ab57d8f2ab16a5f upstream.
Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense.
Unverified values can cause overflows later on.
