The functions bpf_map_area_alloc() and bpf_map_charge_init() prior
this commit passed the size parameter as size_t. In this commit this
is changed to u64.
All users of these functions avoid size_t overflows on 32-bit systems,
by explicitly using u64 when calculating the allocation size and
memory charge cost. However, since the result was narrowed by the
size_t when passing size and cost to the functions, the overflow
handling was in vain.
Instead of changing all call sites to size_t and handle overflow at
the call site, the parameter is changed to u64 and checked in the
functions above.
Fixes: d407bd25a204 ("bpf: don't trigger OOM killer under pressure with map alloc")
Fixes: c85d69135a91 ("bpf: move memory size checks to bpf_map_charge_init()")
