The "cmd.npages" variable is a u64 that comes from the user.  I noticed
during review that it could have a shift wrapping bug when it is used
in the integer overflow test on the next line.

It turns out this is harmless.  The users all do:

	unsigned long size = cmd->npages << PAGE_SHIFT;

and after that "size" is used consistently and "cmd->npages" is never
used again.  So even when there is an integer overflow, everything works
fine.

Even though this is harmless, I believe syzbot will complain and fixing
it makes the code easier to read.

Looks good to me too. Thanks for sending this.
