Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: Fix signed overflow in ringbuf_process_ring

One of our benchmarks running in (Google-internal) CI pushes data
through the ringbuf faster than userspace is able to consume
it. In this case it seems we're actually able to get >INT_MAX entries
in a single ringbuf_buffer__consume call. ASAN detected that cnt
overflows in this case.

Fix by just setting a limit on the number of entries that can be
consumed.

Fixes: bf99c936f947 (libbpf: Add BPF ring buffer support)
