[PATCH 22/46] mm/gup: check for overflow when converting nr_pages to bytes in GUP-fast

The overflow check in gup_fast_fallback() only covers the addition to
start. The preceding nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT can already have truncated
the length on 32bit.

Users such as RapidIO's rio_dma_transfer() can derive such page counts
from a 64-bit userspace length.

Let's just check_shl_overflow() to reject any such overflow with
-EOVERFLOW early.
