Subject: [PATCH v2] profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs

Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds bug in profile_init().
The problem was in incorrect prof_shift. Since prof_shift value comes from
userspace we need to clamp this value into [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1]
boundaries.

Second possible shiht-out-of-bounds was found by Tetsuo:
sample_step local variable in read_profile() had "unsigned int" type,
but prof_shift allows to make a BITS_PER_LONG shift. So, to prevent
possible shiht-out-of-bounds sample_step type was changed to
"unsigned long".

Also, "unsigned short int" will be sufficient for storing
[0, BITS_PER_LONG] value, that's why there is no need for
"unsigned long" prof_shift.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

Changes in v2:
	1. Fixed possible shiht-out-of-bounds in read_profile()
	   (Reported by Tetsuo)

	2. Changed prof_shift type from "unsigned long" to
	   "unsigned short int"
