Currently, the maximum file size that is supported is 2G. This may be
too small in some cases. For example, kexec_file_load() system call
loads initramfs. In some netboot cases initramfs can be rather large.
Allow to use up-to ssize_t bytes. The callers still can limit the
maximum file size via buf_size.
