Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds bug in profile_init(). The problem was in incorrect prof_shift. Since prof_shift value comes from userspace we need to clamp this value into [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1] boundaries. Second possible shiht-out-of-bounds was found by Tetsuo: sample_step local variable in read_profile() had "unsigned int" type, but prof_shift allows to make a BITS_PER_LONG shift. So, to prevent possible shiht-out-of-bounds sample_step type was changed to "unsigned long". Also, "unsigned short int" will be sufficient for storing [0, BITS_PER_LONG] value, that's why there is no need for "unsigned long" prof_shift.
