主题: [PATCH v3] nvme-pci: fix CMB mapping when CMBSZ Size field is zero

The controller memory buffer size is defined by the SZ field in the CMBSZ register (bits 31:12). According to the NVMe specification, a value of zero in the SZ field indicates that no CMB is present.

Commit f65efd6dfe4e ("nvme-pci: clean up CMB initialization") replaced the check for a zero SZ field with a check for a zero CMBSZ register value, under the assumption that a zero register implies no CMB.
However, a CMBSZ register can be non-zero while the SZ field is zero, for example when Size Units (SZU) is set to a non-zero value but the actual size is zero (e.g. CMBSZ = 0x100: SZU = 1, SZ = 0).

When this happens, nvme_map_cmb() proceeds to compute a size of zero, passes the alignment checks (zero is always aligned), and calls
pci_p2pdma_add_resource() with size=0. The P2PDMA subsystem then defaults size to the entire remaining BAR, which may not be properly aligned for memory hotplug, triggering:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at mm/memory_hotplug.c:396 __add_pages
  Misaligned __add_pages start: 0x494a0000 end: 0x494a000f

Fix this by:
1. Restoring the check for a zero SZ field, which explicitly verifies
   that the controller actually has a CMB before proceeding.
2. Adding a boundary check in nvme_cmb_size_unit() to reject SZU values
   greater than 6. The SZU field is 4 bits, but values 7-15 are reserved
   by the NVMe specification and produce a shift count >= 40 in the
   left-shift operation (1ULL << (12 + 4 * szu) when szu >= 7), which
   exceeds the maximum 64 GB unit size defined by the spec.
3. Checking the return value of nvme_cmb_size_unit() for zero before
   proceeding, and using check_mul_overflow() for the size calculation
   to detect integer overflow that could wrap to a non-zero value and
   bypass the SZ check.
