Re: [PATCH v3] KEYS: encrypted: fix integer overflow of datablob_len

encrypted_key_alloc() stores datablob_len in a u16. It is computed from
multiple string and payload lengths. If the result exceeds U16_MAX, the
assignment truncates the allocation size. KASAN reports a 32760-byte
slab-out-of-bounds write when __ekey_init() copies the master key
description into the undersized buffer.

The total payload length stored in key->datalen is also a u16. Use
check_add_overflow() to reject values that do not fit either destination,
and use kzalloc_flex() for the flexible-array allocation.

Changes in v3:
- Describe the bounds using u16 and U16_MAX and simplify the commit
  message.
- Include the KASAN-reported write size.
- Remove organization names from the author and sign-off identities.
- Remove the unnecessary off-list discussion note.
- Use cenzhang@linux.microsoft.com.
- No code changes.
