dm-ploop: fix u32 overflow of the delta BAT byte size

This patch computes the byte size of the header and BAT in u64 and uses
ploop_nr_bat_clusters() everywhere for the BAT cluster count. It also
rejects a header or a resize whose hb_nr exceeds PLOOP_MAX_HB_NR.

[Severity: Medium]
This isn't addressed by the hunk above, but a related helper in the same
header appears to have been left with the same u32 wrap:

drivers/md/dm-ploop.h:ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr() {
	u64 byte;

	byte = (clu + PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET) * sizeof(map_index_t);
	return byte >> PAGE_SHIFT;
}

Here clu is u32 and sizeof(map_index_t) is size_t, which is 32 bits on
32-bit architectures.  Doesn't the multiply wrap before the result is
widened to the u64 byte?

DM_PLOOP depends only on BLK_DEV_DM, so 32-bit builds are not excluded.
With PLOOP_MAX_HB_NR now allowing hb_nr up to 0xFFFFFFE8, a delta header
m_Size or a resize request with clu + 16 >= 2^30 would make this helper
return a too-small page number on a 32-bit kernel.

That value feeds ploop_prealloc_md_pages():

    new_nr_pages = ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr(new_nr_bat_entries - 1) + 1;

which is called from ploop_resize() and ploop_read_delta_metadata(), so
too few md pages could be allocated for a large BAT.  init_be_iter() uses
the same helper to compute last_page, so the BAT page coverage could
become inconsistent with nr_bat_entries.

The commit message says the byte size is computed in u64 "in several
places" and that the u32 wrap is fixed everywhere.  Should this helper
use ((u64)clu + PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET) * sizeof(map_index_t) as well?

On 64-bit builds the multiply does not wrap, so this only affects 32-bit
kernels.
