Does $\lim_{x\to 0} \frac {f(x)}{|x|} \leq M $ ,for some real $M$ ,imply that $f(x)\leq |x| M $?

Just to restate my question as in the title:

Does $\lim_{x\to 0} \frac {f(x)}{|x|} \leq M $ , for some real $M$, imply that $f(x)\leq |x| M $ ?

Any help would be appreciated!

The inequality won't hold on any neighborhood of $0$. For instance, $$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x^2}{|x|} \le 0$$ but $x^2 \le 0|x|$ is false for all $x$ except $x=0$.
