Maybe this is only an issue on our internal setup, but when I tested
this I found that `check_mul_overflow()` is very particular that all
three args having the same type. Therefore, to get it to compile, I
changed all of the arguments to match the type of `exit_info_2`, like
so:

u64 bytes;

if (unlikely(check_mul_overflow(svm->vmcb->control.exit_info_2,
(u64)size, &bytes)))

I've tested that this works. To test it, I (temporarily) modified
`setup_vmgexit_scratch()` to always treat the scratch area as if it
resides outside of the GHCB page (i.e., always go down the `else` code
path). Doing this, I was able to see the stringio test case fail
before this patch and pass with it.
