01b3f52157ff ("bpf: fix allocation warnings in bpf maps and integer
overflow") has added checks for the maximum allocateable size. It
(ab)used KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX for that purpose. While this is not incorrect
it is not very clean because we already have KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE for this
very reason so let's change both checks to use KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead.

Nack until the patches 1 and 2 are reversed.

I do not insist on ordering. The thing is that it shouldn't matter all
that much. Or are you worried about bisectability?

This patch 1 strongly depends on patch 2 !
Therefore order matters.
The patch 1 by itself is broken.
The commit log is saying
'(ab)used KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX for that purpose .. use KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead'
that is also incorrect. We cannot do that until KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is fixed.
So please change the order and fix the commit log to say that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE
is actually valid limit now.

Michal, please also Cc netdev on your v2. Looks like the set
originally didn't Cc it (at least I didn't see 2/2). Thanks.
