Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cgroup/misc: Fix an overflow

The variable 'new_usage' in misc_cg_try_charge() may overflow if it
becomes above INT_MAX. This was observed when I implement the new SGX
EPC cgroup[1] as a misc cgroup and test on a platform with large SGX EPC
sizes.

Change type of new_usage to long from int and check overflow.

Fixes: a72232eabdfc ("cgroup: Add misc cgroup controller")
