/dev/mem: handle out-of-bounds read/write

The loff_t type may be wider than phys_addr_t (e.g. on 32-bit systems).
Consequently, the file offset may be truncated in the assignment.
Currently, /dev/mem wraps around, which may cause applications to read
or write incorrect regions of memory by accident.

Let's follow POSIX file semantics here and return 0 when reading from
and -EFBIG when writing to an offset that cannot be represented by a
phys_addr_t.

Note that the conditional is optimized out by the compiler if loff_t
has the same size as phys_addr_t.
