When acb->cmd is WRITE or DISCARD block/rbd stores rcb->size into acb->ret

Look here:
    if (acb->cmd == RBD_AIO_WRITE ||
         acb->cmd == RBD_AIO_DISCARD) {
         if (r<  0) {
             acb->ret = r;
             acb->error = 1;
         } else if (!acb->error) {
             acb->ret = rcb->size;
         }

right now acb->ret is just an int and we might get an overflow if size is too big.
For discards rcb->size holds the size of the discard - this might be some TB if you
discard a whole device.

The steps to reproduce are:
mkfs.xfs -f a whole device bigger than int in bytes. mkfs.xfs sends a discard. Important is that you use scsi-hd and set discard_granularity=512. Otherwise rbd disabled discard support.

Whatever type you decide to use, please add an identifying topic such as
"block/rbd:" in the subject (int ret is very generic!), and this patch
is missing a Signed-off-by.

Regards,
Andreas
