[PATCH v2] of: fdt: fix overflows when parsing sizes

The function dt_struct_advance() is used to advance a pointer to the next
offset within the structure block, while checking that the result is in
bounds.

Unfortunately, the function used a signed size argument. This had the
effect that a too-large size in the FDT wrapped around and caused the
pointer to move backwards.

This issue was found by libfuzzer which generated an FDT that
always triggered an out-of-memory condition: One struct indicated a size
that caused the pointer to move backwards.

The resulting loop allocated memory on every iteration and eventually
ran out.

Fix this by using unsigned sizes and treating wrap around as an
error case.

v1 -> v2:
  - remove unneeded (!dt && size) check (Sascha)

@Sascha, I didn't know (or had forgotten) that the FIT image parser is
separate. It lacks a number of checks that were added to harden the FDT
parser. I will submit this separately.
