[PATCH bpf] bpf: harden bloom filter allocation sizing on 32-bit kernels

bloom_map_alloc() can under-allocate bloom filter storage on 32-bit
kernels when the bitset size reaches the U32_MAX fallback case.
BITS_TO_BYTES(U32_MAX) is evaluated with 32-bit arithmetic and wraps to 0,
while bitset_mask remains U32_MAX. As a result, later bloom filter updates
can write beyond the allocated object.
I reached local privilege escalation using only this bug from a binary with
CAP_BPF.
Compute the bitset size from bitset_mask in u64 and check the final
allocation size before calling bpf_map_area_alloc().
Fixes: 9330986c0300 ("bpf: Add bloom filter map implementation")
