Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 8/9] acct: fix potential integer overflow in encode_comp_t()

From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit c5f31c655bcc01b6da53b836ac951c1556245305 ]

The integer overflow is descripted with following codes:
  > 317 static comp_t encode_comp_t(u64 value)
  > 318 {
  > 319         int exp, rnd;
    ......
  > 341         exp <<= MANTSIZE;
  > 342         exp += value;
  > 343         return exp;
  > 344 }

Currently comp_t is defined as type of '__u16', but the variable 'exp' is
type of 'int', so overflow would happen when variable 'exp' in line 343 is
greater than 65535.
