Subject: [PATCH] mtd: fix possible integer overflow in erase_xfer()

The expression '1 << EraseUnitSize' is evaluated in int, which causes
a negative result when shifting by 31 - the upper bound of the valid
range [10, 31], enforced by scan_header(). This leads to incorrect
extension when storing the result in 'erase->len' (uint64_t), producing
a large unexpected value.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
