Currently building with C=1 generates the following warning:
CC drivers/nvme/host/core.o
CHECK drivers/nvme/host/core.c
drivers/nvme/host/core.c:2426:13: warning: unsigned value that used to be signed checked against zero?
drivers/nvme/host/core.c:2426:13: signed value source
This issue was introduced when using check_shl_overflow() to check for
invalid LBA size. Sparse is having trouble dealing with __bitwise __le64
conversion when passing to check_shl_overflow().
Resolve the issue by moving the check_shl_overflow() call to a separate
function, where types are not converted.
The id->lbaf[lbaf].ds < SECTOR_SHIFT check is dropped as
check_shl_overflow() is able to detect negative shifts.
