Subject: [PATCH] bna: integer overflow bug in debugfs

We could allocate less memory than intended because we do:

	bnad->regdata = kzalloc(len << 2, GFP_KERNEL);

The shift can overflow leading to a crash.  This is debugfs code so the
impact is very small.

Fixes: 7afc5dbde091 ("bna: Add debugfs interface.")
