Thanks for the suggestions, I do understand, however, I'll just give up
this because I'm not confident to fix confilcts for maple tree. Other
folks will have to this if they care about this cve for v6.6.

Keep using xarray for patch 27 is wrong, I think. xarray is 32-bit and
if the offset overflow, readdir will found nothing, this is more severe
than the orignal cve.

Of course.
