nbd: use shifts rather than multiplies
commit fad7cd33 ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in __nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in commit f0907827 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code") ERROR: modpost: "__divdi3" [drivers/block/nbd.ko] undefined! As Stephen Rothwell notes: The added check_mul_overflow() call is being passed 64 bit values. COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW is not set for this build (see include/linux/overflow.h). Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow, __signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. This is problematic for 64b operands on 32b hosts. This was fixed upstream by commit 76ae8474 ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1") which is not suitable to be backported to stable. Further, __builtin_mul_overflow() would emit a libcall to a compiler-rt-o...
