aio: avoid request count overflow in ioctx_alloc()
ioctx_alloc() saves the 32-bit nr_events in max_reqs, then doubles
nr_events before checking the ring-size bound. For
nr_events=0x80000001, the doubled value wraps to 2, so the ring check
passes and aio_setup_ring() builds a one-page/127-slot ring. The
original 0x80000001 is still stored in ctx->max_reqs and charged to the
global aio_nr quota.
If an administrator has raised fs.aio-max-nr to at least 0x80000001,
an unprivileged process can create that context and make later normal
io_setup() calls fail with -EAGAIN until the wrapped context is
destroyed.
Check for too large number of requests before multiplying.
