Ubuntu: (Multiple Advisories) (CVE-2024-26675): Linux kernel vulnerabilities

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ppp_async: limit MRU to 64K

syzbot triggered a warning [1] in __alloc_pages():

WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp)

Willem fixed a similar issue in commit c0a2a1b0d631 ("ppp: limit MRU to 64K")

Adopt the same sanity check for ppp_async_ioctl(PPPIOCSMRU)
