Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] libceph: Amend checking to fix `make W=1` build breakage

In a few cases the code compares 32-bit value to a SIZE_MAX derived
constant which is much higher than that value on 64-bit platforms,
Clang, in particular, is not happy about this

net/ceph/osdmap.c:1441:10: error: result of comparison of constant 4611686018427387891 with expression of type 'u32' (aka 'unsigned int') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]

Fix this by casting to size_t. Note, that possible replacement of SIZE_MAX
by U32_MAX may lead to the behaviour changes on the corner cases.
