[PATCH][mtd-next] mtd: sharpslpart: fix overflow on block_adr calculation

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Multiplying block_num and mtd->erasesize may potentially overflow
as they are both unsigned ints and so the multiplication is evaluated
in unsigned int arithmetic .  Cast block_adr to off_t to ensure
multiplication is off_t sized to avoid any potential overflow.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1461264 ("Unintentional integer overflow")

Fixes: fff1e32a50c0 ("mtd: sharpslpart: Add sharpslpart partition parser")
