Subject: [PATCH net v2] xsk: Fix overflow in descriptor validation

The desc->len value can be set up to U32_MAX. If umem tx_metadata_len
option is also set, the value of the expression
'desc->len + pool->tx_metadata_len' can overflow and validation
of the incorrect descriptor will be successfully passed.
This can lead to a subsequent chain of arithmetic overflows
in the xsk_build_skb() function and incorrect sk_buff allocation.

To reproduce the overflow, this piece of userspace code can be used:
       struct xdp_umem_reg umem_reg;
       umem_reg.addr = (__u64)(void *)umem;
       ...
       umem_reg.chunk_size = 4096;
       umem_reg.tx_metadata_len = 16;
       umem_reg.flags = XDP_UMEM_TX_METADATA_LEN;
       setsockopt(sfd, SOL_XDP, XDP_UMEM_REG, &umem_reg, sizeof(umem_reg));
       ...

       xsk_ring_prod__reserve(tq, batch_size, &idx);

       for (i = 0; i < nr_packets; ++i) {
               struct xdp_desc *tx_desc = xsk_ring_prod__tx_desc(tq, idx + i);
               tx_desc->addr = packets[i].addr;
               tx_desc->addr += umem->tx_metadata_len;
               tx_desc->options = XDP_TX_METADATA;
               tx_desc->len = UINT32_MAX;
       }

       xsk_ring_prod__submit(tq, nr_packets);
       ...
       sendto(sfd, NULL, 0, MSG_DONTWAIT, NULL, 0);
