In 32-bit architecture, the result of sizeof() is a 32-bit integer so
the expression becomes the multiplication between 2 32-bit integer which
can potentially leads to integer overflow. As a result,
bpf_map_area_alloc() allocates less memory than needed.

Fix this by casting 1 operand to u64.
Some quick thoughts:
* Should this have a Fixes tag?
* Seems like there are quite a few similar calls scattered around
(cpumap, etc.). Did you audit these as well?
* I'd prefer a calloc style version of bpf_map_area_alloc although
that might conflict with Fixes tag.
