From: Tao Cui <redacted>

Writing a multiple of 2^32 (e.g. 4294967296) to a legacy cgroup v1
throttle iops file (blkio.throttle.{read,write}_iops_device) silently
truncates to 0: tg_set_conf() stores the sscanf-parsed u64 value into
an unsigned int field with no clamping. The cgroup v2 path,
tg_set_limit(), already clamps the same kind of value with
min_t(u64, val, UINT_MAX), but the legacy path never did. Note that
the "!v -> U64_MAX" mapping only catches an explicit zero and does not
catch a value that truncates to zero.

With iops stored as 0, tg_update_has_rules() sets has_rules_iops[] and
the next IO reaches tg_within_iops_limit(), which computes

    jiffy_wait = max(jiffy_wait, HZ / iops_limit + 1);

triggering a divide-by-zero oops.

Fix it in two places:

  * tg_set_conf(): clamp the value to UINT_MAX, consistent with
    tg_set_limit(). This closes the truncation root cause (and the
    general silent truncation for any value above UINT_MAX).

  * tg_dispatch_iops_time(): treat iops_limit == 0 as unlimited so the
    divide in tg_within_iops_limit() is never reached, defending
    against any future path that could produce a zero limit.

Changes in v2:
- Use a "void *field" local for the config write so the assignment reads
  *(u64 *)field / *(unsigned int *)field instead of the
  (type *)((void *)tg + of_cft(of)->private) casts.
- Use min(v, (u64)UINT_MAX) instead of min_t(u64, v, UINT_MAX).
