+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #156029 +++

Description of problem:
the read routine for /proc/devices is missing a length check routine. 
Consequently, if the number of block and char devices in a system totals more
than 4096 bytes of string data between their names and major/minor numbers, the
read routine will sprintf the data off the end of the page and oops the kernel.
other proc files that are part of proc_misc.c protect against this with a length
check that truncates the file if it goes over a page, but this check is missing
from get_device_list and get_blkdev_list.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. register sufficient char/block devices in a system to create > 4096 bytes of
string data for /proc/devices
2. cat /proc/devices
3.
  
Actual results:
system will oops on a page fault

Expected results:
system should truncate file to 4096 bytes.
