netfilter: conntrack: clamp maximum hashtable size to INT_MAX
[ Upstream commit b541ba7d1f5a5b7b3e2e22dc9e40e18a7d6dbc13 ]
Use INT_MAX as maximum size for the conntrack hashtable. Otherwise, it
is possible to hit WARN_ON_ONCE in __kvmalloc_node_noprof() when
resizing hashtable because __GFP_NOWARN is unset. See:
0708a0afe291 ("mm: Consider __GFP_NOWARN flag for oversized kvmalloc() calls")
Note: hashtable resize is only possible from init_netns.
Fixes: 9cc1c73ad666 ("netfilter: conntrack: avoid integer overflow when resizing")
