To be honest, this is a very typical sort of integer overflow test and
it looks pretty self explanatory to me.  We're avoiding a divide by zero
bug and we're making sure the result isn't more than UINT_MAX.

It has nothing to do with context.count.  param->iterations and
param->sglen are both unsinged int, so if we do "param->iterations *
param->sglen" that will overflow.
