Correct.

You've missed a part.  We add ((u64)nr_cmds * sizeof(submit->cmd[0]))
to SIZE_MAX.  If nr_cmds is zero then, whatever, the kzmalloc() will
fail.  No big deal.  But if it's non-zero then "sz" is larger than
SIZE_MAX and we allocate a smaller buffer than expected leading to
memory corruption.

Btw, it turns out that I had a hand in writing that check so hooray for
me.  :)  #HoorayForMe
