Subject: [PATCH] block: fix uint overflow when merging io requests

This uint overflow will cause req->__data_len < req->bio->bi_size,
this will confuse block layer and device driver.

I watched a panic caused by this when mkfs.ext4 a volume of a large
virtual disk on vm guest, blkdev_issue_discard() issue two bio with
a total size over UINT_MAX, but the check in ll_back_merge_fn() didn't
take affect due to the overflow and they were merged into one request.
After the request is done, in blk_end_request_all(), BUG_ON(pending)
was triggered and kernel panic. "pending" is true is because
blk_update_request() return ture when req->__data_len is less
than req->bio->bi_size.
