Subject: [PATCH 1/4] vfs: make get_sb_pseudo set s_maxbytes to value that can be cast to signed

This patch is a counterpart to the CIFS patch posted yesterday. I
believe either patch will fix the problem seen in do_sendfile since the
smaller s_maxbytes value for the two superblocks is used there.

get_sb_pseudo sets s_maxbytes to ~0ULL, which becomes negative when cast
to a signed value. Fix it to use MAX_LFS_FILESIZE which casts properly
to a positive signed value.
