[PATCH net-next v2 1/5] vxlan: vnifilter: reject VNIs outside the 24-bit space

VXLAN_VNIFILTER_ENTRY_START and VXLAN_VNIFILTER_ENTRY_END are declared as
bare NLA_U32, so neither is bounded before vxlan_process_vni_filter()
hands them to vxlan_vni_add_del():

	int v, err = 0;
	...
	for (v = start_vni; v <= end_vni; v++) {

v is int and end_vni is __u32, so the comparison is done unsigned. A
request carrying only START=0xffffffff gives vni_start == vni_end ==
0xffffffff, which looks like a single-VNI request. v is then -1,
"v <= end_vni" converts it to 0xffffffff and passes, v++ makes v 0, and
the loop walks the whole space upwards from there, allocating a VNI node
and a per-CPU stats block per iteration under rtnl_lock. Any range
ending at 0xffffffff behaves the same way, including narrow ones such as
START=0xfffff001 END=0xffffffff.

Separately, a VNI at or above VXLAN_N_VID is accepted and stored even
though the VXLAN header carries only 24 bits: vxlan_vni_field() shifts
without masking, so such an entry occupies its own rhashtable slot while
being truncated on the wire.

Range-validate both attributes against the 24-bit VNI space, which is
what vxlan_mdb.c already does for its own VNI attributes. The request is
then rejected during netlink policy validation, before
vxlan_process_vni_filter() is reached, and nothing is allocated. Make
the loop counter u32 while touching this: that is not what terminates
the loop, the policy check is, but it removes the signed overflow past
INT_MAX and matches the u32 vni parameter vxlan_vni_add() already takes.
