CVE-2013-4531

cpreg_vmstate_indexes is a VARRAY_INT32. A negative value for
cpreg_vmstate_array_len will cause a buffer overflow.

VMSTATE_INT32_LE was supposed to protect against this
but doesn't because it doesn't validate that input is
non-negative.

Fix this macro to valide the value appropriately.

The only other user of VMSTATE_INT32_LE doesn't
ever use negative numbers so it doesn't care.

This fixes the bug, but it's rather unintuitive semantics
for an INT32_LE not to simply do a signed comparison...
Maybe rename the macro?

thanks

Sure. I'll do it in a separate patch though.
