[PATCH] io_uring/rsrc: fix folio size overflow in io_vec_fill_bvec()

io_vec_fill_bvec() computes the folio size with a plain int 1:

	unsigned long folio_size = 1 << imu->folio_shift;

imu->folio_shift is unsigned int and comes from folio_shift() of the
folio backing the registered buffer, so it can be 32 or more on a 64 bit
kernel. Shifting int 1 that far is undefined, and on x86 and arm64 the
count is taken modulo 32, so a shift of 34 yields 4 rather than 16G.
Every other folio_shift shift in this file already uses 1UL.

The result is that the segment estimate and the fill loop disagree.
io_estimate_bvec_size() sizes the bvec array with the real shift:

	max_segs += (iov[i].iov_len >> shift) + 2;

so a 1M iovec on a 16G folio is charged 2 segments, while
io_vec_fill_bvec() then walks the same iovec in folio_size chunks of 4
bytes and writes res_bvec[bvec_idx] a quarter of a million times, past
the end of the array it was given. src_bvec is advanced once per
iteration as well, so imu->bvec is read past its end at the same time.
validate_fixed_range() only checks that the range is inside the
registered buffer and does not bound the segment count.

Reaching it needs a folio with a shift of at least 32, which means a
gigantic hugetlb page: 16G on arm64 with 64K pages, where
CONT_PMD_SHIFT is 34 and hugetlb_add_hstate(CONT_PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT)
registers that size, and likewise on powerpc. x86_64 tops out at 1G, so
a shift of 30, which still fits in int and is unaffected.

Use 1UL, as the rest of the file does.

Found by reading, not from a crash. I do not have a machine that can hold
a 16G gigantic page, so I have not run this path with a folio_shift of 34
and the out of bounds write is derived rather than observed. What I did
check in the tree:

  - imu->folio_shift is set from folio_shift() of the coalesced folio in
    io_check_coalesce_buffer(), so it is the real folio order plus
    PAGE_SHIFT and is not clamped anywhere
  - on arm64 with 64K pages ARM64_CONT_PMD_SHIFT is 5 and PMD_SHIFT is 29,
    so CONT_PMD_SHIFT is 34, and arm64_hugetlb_init() calls
    hugetlb_add_hstate(CONT_PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT), which is order 18;
    order 18 plus PAGE_SHIFT 16 gives folio_shift 34
  - the four other folio_shift shifts in this file, at the folio_size
    check in io_check_coalesce_buffer(), the bvec fill in
    io_sqe_buffer_register(), and the folio_mask in io_import_fixed(),
    all already use 1UL
  - the only other variable shifts of a plain 1 in io_uring/ are on
    ITER_DEST, ITER_SOURCE and rq_data_dir(), which are 0 or 1

Happy to put together a forced folio_shift reproducer under KASAN if that
would be more useful than the reasoning above.
