Subject: [PATCH 4.18 045/145] overflow.h: Add arithmetic shift helper

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@...lanox.com>

commit 0c66847793d1982d1083dc6f7adad60fa265ce9c upstream.

Add shift_overflow() helper to assist driver authors in ensuring that
shift operations don't cause overflows or other odd conditions.
