Subject: [PATCH] DRBG: fix maximum value checks on 32 bit systems

The maximum values for additional input string or generated blocks is
larger than 1<<32. To ensure a sensible value on 32 bit systems, return
SIZE_MAX on 32 bit systems. This value is lower than the maximum allowed
values defined in SP800-90A. The standard allow lower maximum values,
but not larger values.
